- Dimensions: (Ø 46mm - L: 70mm)
- Where the Superior Z-Cap is made with pure copper lead-wires, the Silver Z-Cap is made with pure silver lead-wires, changing the sound characteristics of the capacitor slightly.
- Highly recommended for tweeters and mid-range application for high-end passive speakers and as coupling capacitors in tube and power amplifiers.
- The Silver Z-Cap is a metalized polypropylene foil capacitor but made as special construction we call a “Super MPK Capacitor”.
- Super MKP capacitors are made with a double lane of metalized polypropylene foil, hence a double foil construction.
- By using special winding machines and winding techniques, two capacitors are connected in series within one capacitor housing,
- When making this type of capacitor you therefore need 4 times the foil used in standard type metalized polypropylene foil capacitors.
- Compared to standard type metalized polypropylene foil capacitors, the Superior Z-Cap is on a higher audiophile level, where even finest nuance improvements can be heard.
- An extremely well made and precise MKP capacitor with a tolerance on capacitance of only +/- 2%.
- Jantzen does not fill their capacitors with any dielectric fluid, which eliminates all risks of evaporation or leakage that can shorten longevity and quality of the capacitor.
