Re: Need help identifying cap.

jdoes ncc make audio only purpose caps?

oh, im sorry!!! I see NCC == Nippon Chemi-Con............. again, sorry! my fault!!

but yeah, I foud this.: http://www.chemi-con.co.jp/e/tech_to...for_audio.html

ASG series - 85℃ - 2,000 hours - For home theater, high-end audio system
ASH series - 85℃ - 1,000 hours - For home theater, high-end audio system
AVH series - 85℃ - 1,000 hours - For home theater, high-end audio system <-- (attached picture)
AWJ series - 85℃ - 1,000 hours - For home theater, high-end audio system

Special tuning room

"Our Products R&D Center has a tuning room built specifically for the development of capacitors for audio application."
"We conduct sound quality evaluation test using variety of capacitor materials in this room for product improvement pursuing an ideal sound quality."

pd: can't find too much info about these NCC series, but im sure they are better than the NoVer's I have in my mixer.

13,500uf 70v - typical.
american manufacturers can never follow standard values of anything!

Based on whose standard?
DC300 came out in 1967!

Re: Need help identifying cap.

why? are you one of those guys that like stuff with acrylic cases & neons?

i love acrylic cases, it gets to show off the guts of the pc, etc. and shiny nichicon caps really stand out

Re: Need help identifying cap.

you dont want "audio grade" caps in a psu section!

Iaudio caps caps in a PSU is a no no...

so I looked at these "improved/custom" PSU from the classic, fully discrete Bozak CMA-10-2D rotary mixer, using Nichicon MUSE series... but which one?... ok, another question is, are these caps for audio purposes? they can't be Nichicon's "ES" because his rated capacitance range goes from 0.47 to just 1000μF, and the ones green plated from the PSU pictures are 2200uf/50v, so they must be other serie of MUSE...

and also the second PSU with the golden AUDYN ERGF Elko caps, upgraded with the TK Jovial's gives me pause of though....

so what you guys think about these two first power supply "upgrades"?

I found the last one of the Bozak's CMA-10-2DL PSU's (the one with the blue 1000uf/63v SHOEI cap) upgraded with "Evox RIFA" caps, which I am researching at the moment (ref: PEG226KJ4220QE1)...

PD: also checking the Vishay/BC refs: MAL211817222E3 & MAL212017222E3 + EPCOS (TDK) ref: B41696A7228Q7 + Audyn-ERGF Elko + Not sure about the Frako (last pic)... I don't see too many options out there for a 2200uf/40v replacement with axial terminals... any other suggestions?? the ROE's I have are just fine?? should I simply adapt some nice Nichicon's radial caps??

Re: Need help identifying cap.

does ncc make audio only purpose caps?

Yes I think so, and I am seriously looking to these ones for recapping just one channel of the mixer and make some tests...

Bi-polarized “nichicon MUSE” acoustic series. *** Suited for audio signal circuits. *** ...

if I am successfull, i will also recap the master output module, test again... and finally recap all remaining modules.

I like wooden cases... but i do love to see those LEDS shaking all the time, hahaha!

Re: Need help identifying cap [recapping project].

I am looking this information because I am planning to recap my dj mixer, and it's a good one: Formula Sound PM-90, fully modular, from 1990, made in UK, multiple award winner.

It has been built with some UK made electrolytic caps called NoVer...

I will start with the external PSU (+18v/-18v/+6v)... It has three original NoVer 2200uf/40v, two small Philips 100uf/63v -which are not original (they where recapped before I buyed my unit from second-hand)-, and finally a little NoVer 100uf/25v.

I have purchased (the only thing at the moment, and I must say I did it before I meet badcaps.net) three ROE 2200uf/40v for replacing the NoVer's. I attached a picture of them.

yeah, that's why I am looking for nice replacements for all those NoVer/Philips...

pd: attached a picture of my home setup (with USA made Loudness Meters, hahaha) ...

I know ..audio caps caps in a PSU is a no no...but I wish they made such a pretty cap series like the nichicon audio series for low ESR applications

Re: Need help identifying cap.

I also see a Roland TR808 with some maroon colored Elna's in the power supply, that had been replaced/upgraded by the TK Jovial's... then lot's of the Nichicon's MUSE & Fine Gold, but I also see some TK's in the signal path...

maybe they just sound cool?

[BrainKaos]

Re: Need help identifying cap.

if i see especially the nichicon muse caps i go nuts ...

hahaha! me too...

I am trying to figure out which are the caps used in all these projects (Section: ***Audio Equipments Mod/Improve***): http://meta-design.biz/modify.html

now I now at least the TK Jovial, Nichicon MUSE, and also saw some FG series...

as I said, still researching...

Re: Need help identifying cap.

indeed... it's a shame.

I have a Crown amplifier here, that I love, not just because of his sound, but of his rock-solid build quality. Like tanks...

It's so far the most rugged thing I have here in my home...

I attached some pictures I took while cleaning the unit first day arrived to home.... nice beefy power supply, and... look those "little" caps, mate!



pd: I pray not to need to replace them in my whole life.

im a fan of USA made caps but i have a weakness for Japanese caps too, though i love panasonic (matsushita) caps,and hitachi's .... if i see especially the nichicon muse caps i go nuts ...if i could replace all of my caps on my computer with them i would

i saw an amp the other day with jun fu caps....i was like

Re: Need help identifying cap.

hahaha...

well... the funny thing is that I thought these capacitors were of high quality, because I have seen them in some projects to improve high-end audio equipment (mainly in power supplies) for dj's, like the old Bozak or Urei classic rotary mixers, etc...

dont worry you dont have to hide, im actually surprised this exists in high-end audio equipment, at least use nichicons i would think they are much higher quality, than TK... but some equipment today especially in audio have cheaped out and have significant quantities of junk capacitors, i saw an amp the other day with jun fu caps....i was like

Re: Need help identifying cap.

ji guess they need to go somewhere

Re: Need help identifying cap.

Hmmm... I think I got it!!!!

I found another picture so you guys can look at them too.

I also found an interesting thread talking (not too good) about this caps: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=495059

still researching......

just read it it's TK Jovial could have fooled me but still toshin kogyo dont have the best track record of reliabilty..well i guess they need to go somewhere i would replace with nichicons or chemicons (does ncc make audio only purpose caps?)

Re: Need help identifying cap.

if you could take a closer pic of the capacitor it would be appreciated i just can't see the name sorry

Thanks, but I can't take any pictures... I grabbed these ones from the Internet, they are part of a recaping/upgrade project of a japanese dj mixer (Vestax)

however the green capacitor looks like a nichicon audio filter capacitor

yeah, I guess they are Nichicon MUSE...

Thank you!
