How good are Nichicon capacitors?

How good are Nichicon capacitors?

Nichicon is a reputable company, so their audio capacitors are probably no worse than any others in their intended applications. I would, however, be wary of the more exotic brands that make only audio parts and don’t use the normal electronic component distributors (Farnell, Mouser, etc).

What is Nichicon capacitors?

Nichicon Audio Capacitors are specially designed for high-performance digital household appliances and electronics. Nichicon Audio Capacitors provide improved quality of sound and are available in leaded, surface-mount, and snap-in terminations.

Where are Nichicon caps made?

AUG. Established Iwate Factory (later called NICHICON (ASAHI) CORPORATION).
AUG. Established a joint venture company called TAIWAN CAPACITOR LTD. (now called TAICON CORPORATION) in Taipei, Taiwan for production of aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

Who makes Nichicon capacitors?

Nichicon Corporation (ニチコン株式会社, Nichikon Kabushiki-gaisha) is a manufacturer of capacitors of various types, and is one of the largest manufacturers of capacitors in the world, headquartered in Karasuma Oike, Nakagyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan.

Which capacitor has highest capacitance?

Supercapacitors have the highest capacitance density because of their special charge storage principles. Electrolytic capacitors have lesser capacitance density than supercapacitors but the highest capacitance density of conventional capacitors due to the thin dielectric.

What is nichnichicon FG series?

Nichicon FG Series, part of the “Fine Gold” MUSE acoustic series, is suitable for high- grade audio equipment. These audio capacitors use state-of-the-art etching techniques and offer a rich sound in the bass register.

What is your experience with Nichicon KZ?

In my experience Nichicon KZ have poor 3d resolution and the sound is to boring .The highs are very cold and they don’t have good representation . Don’t get me wrong . The details are there but is a cold etched restricted representation ..There is no involvement in the sound .

Does the Nichicon KZ have poor 3D resolution?

In my experience Nichicon KZ have poor 3d resolution and the sound is to boring. Click to expand… Capacitors aren’t individually responsible for “3D resolution” or any other aspect of sound. The sound of an amplifier or other audio device is a result of all components working together as a system.

Do Nichicon capacitors have a lot of ripple?

No ripple, ESR or anything else – just dimensions! It’s pretty discouraging that the data sheets for Nichicon’s ‘audio’ capacitors are so sparse on electrical information, compared to their regular data sheets. No ripple, ESR or anything else – just dimensions!
