Audio Note CAP-5010 0.015 µF 630 V 10% Tin Foil Capacitor
Designed for audiophiles seeking the utmost in signal transparency, the CAP-5010 employs a tin foil construction that has been refined through extensive listening tests. Unlike many polypropylene or Teflon capacitors, which can impart their own character onto the audio signal, this capacitor is engineered to be purely detractive, ensuring that it only removes unwanted artifacts rather than introducing new ones. This approach results in a natural, uncolored sound that is highly sought after in high-fidelity audio components.
The oil-filled design of the CAP-5010 sets it apart from standard dry capacitors, offering improvements in both sound quality and lifespan. By introducing an oil filling, Audio Note achieves a consistent manufacturing process shared with their renowned copper foil signal capacitors. The result is a component that not only maintains stability under demanding conditions but also brings a subtle smoothness and clarity to the signal path, making it especially valuable in audio crossover components and signal stages.
With its compact form factor—measuring approximately 28 mm in length and 15 mm in diameter for this capacitance value—the CAP-5010 is easy to integrate into amplifier, preamplifier, and speaker designs. Its 630 V rating ensures robust performance even in high-voltage tube circuits, and the 10% tolerance provides reliable consistency batch after batch. The versatility of this capacitor makes it suitable for both DIY projects and professional audio restoration or upgrades.
Audio Note’s dedication to continuous improvement is evident in the CAP-5010, as it benefits from years of research and development in capacitor technology. It is especially recommended for those seeking to replace or upgrade signal path capacitors in amplifiers and premium audio equipment, where sonic fidelity and long-term reliability are paramount. Whether you are building a custom preamp, refining a crossover network, or restoring a vintage hi-fi component, the CAP-5010 delivers a level of performance that meets the highest expectations.
