For sale -- a pair of 10 uF Mundorf MCAP supreme silver/gold/oil capacitors (690 VAC, 1000 VDC). These were used in a speaker crossover with low power (8 watt) amplifiers. The capacitors have marks from where they were strapped down and the leads have heel clipped to ~ 2 inches on each side (see pics). These capacitors function perfectly. The price is considerable less than the sale price for these capacitors at PartsConnexion (~$450/pair). I also have 4 Jantzen 0.18 mH wax coil inductors for sale for $10 each. I used these capacitors/inductors in a first order speaker crossover. Shipping to verified PayPal addresses in the continental US. PayPal fees included in the asking price. Lowball offers politely ignored. The description of the Mundorf Supreme Silver/Gold/Oil capacitors from Humble HiFi capacitor review is below. Technical specifications (according to manufacturer): "The MCap Supreme Silver Gold Oil is definitely the top-of-the line model of our oil impregnated capacitors. In comparison with the Silver/Oil version, it technically features a further extended lifetime. More importantly, sonically the Silver/Gold/Oil version stands out due to its wonderful natural singing and exceptional micro dynamic, same time. Capacitance: 0.010uF-10uF; Dielectric: Polyprophylene; Metallisation: 99.99% silver, 1% gold; Purity of silver: min. 99.97% typ. 99.99%; Purity of gold: min. 99.97% typ. 99.99%". Sound: At this level we are talking about a really serious capacitor, so my findings are relative to other exotic types. They are richer and better layered than the Mundorf Silver Gold (without the oil) and they seem more open and more spatial. Compared to the Duelund VSF-Cu they are not as rich in harmonic overtones. The Duelund VSF-Cu creates smoother harmonics and a better midrange balance but the Mundorf Silver Gold Oil really excels in image depth - call it bowling alley depth! In direct comparison, the Duelund VSF-Cu sounds flatter (a bit more 2D) and a little rounded-off at the top. Like most Mundorf capacitors, the Silver Gold Oil has a slight hint of top-end emphasis, this probably contributes to the perceived spatiality and micro-detailing. But I am very happy to live with that, these capacitors are so quiet and really let you look very deep into the recording! Verdict: 12+
