Silver Z cap

Silver Z Cap Super smooth cap without any harsh additions to the sound. Absolutely neutral tonal balance. A truly outstanding audio part. Jantzen Audio Z - Primus Silver Cap is a phenomenon: it has as a sonic base all the good characteristics of the Z - Superior Cap, but with some fantastic additional benefits - it sounds absolutely natural, nearly without audible coloration to the music signal, delivering an authentic soundstage. Besides, it is super smooth, without any harsh additions to the sound and the tonal balance is absolutely neutral. Sonically, it behaves more like a fine piece of wire than a capacitor. Our Superior and Silver Z-Cap Capasitors are an axial type made of metallized polypropylene, especially manufactured for audio purposes. The materials we use, were chosen for the best sonically results in this price class. We use a special machine to wind all our capacitors, so that the capasitors become a very tight reel. This minimizes the inner vibration and keeps microphonic effects as low as possible. The capacitors are available in a wide range of capacitance values with low tolerance. The Superior and Silver caps are all protected against high humidity. Finally, both capacitors are state of art in their price class! NB! All our Superior and Silver Z-caps will show the true picture immediately, so they do not need any burn in time.

Technical info and specifications for Z-cap Superior: All our Superior Caps have high grade copper lead wire to secure the excellent qualtity of these caps. We have succeeded to minimize the inner inductance and to produce a fast sounding capacitor via our skilled technique. The capacitor windings are interleaved, so the inductances effectively cancel each other out. These two windings are connected in series. This means, it takes two 2uF windings to make a single 1uF capacitor. This is equal to produce one full 4uF capacity using conventional technology.

Humble Home Made Hifi cap test: "Sound: More transparent than the less expensive Superior Z-Cap, very detailed. Sometimes too detailed for my liking which makes them less coherent than the Superior Z-Cap. They give some emphasis on the upper treble but are still more civilised than a Clarity Cap SA for example; they have a so-called “high-end” flair. Objectively speaking they are better than the Superior Z-Cap but I prefer the Superior Z-Cap for it’s more neutral presentation. I guess you could call the Jantzen Audio Silver Z-Cap the “audiophile” capacitor and the Jantzen Audio Superior Z-Cap the “musical” capacitor."

Verdict: 10,5
