The CAP-100-R-22U-500V from Audio Note's acclaimed Kaisei range is the result of over four years of development in partnership with Rubycon, renowned for their Black Gate capacitors. This series was created to continue and refine the legendary Black Gate technology, focusing on material quality and construction for unmatched audio fidelity. The capacitor employs a specially formulated electrolyte, high-grade foil, and superior construction techniques to deliver exceptionally low distortion and a natural sound signature.
Engineered for use in high voltage audio components and amplifiers, this capacitor excels in both power supply filtering and critical signal path roles. Its 22 µF and 500 V specification makes it especially suitable for demanding tube amplifier designs, preamp stages, and audio restoration projects where sonic clarity, reliability, and musicality are priorities. The Kaisei's polarised design ensures optimal performance in circuits where directionality is required.
The Kaisei range stands out for its use of premium materials, such as the same special electrolyte and foil found in the most revered capacitors, excluding only the ultra-luxury graphite-impregnated paper. This careful selection enables the Audio Note Kaisei capacitor to achieve a remarkable balance between cost and performance, offering audiophiles and DIY enthusiasts an accessible upgrade path. Its robust build and precise 20% tolerance guarantee stable operation even under prolonged high-voltage stress, contributing to long-term system reliability.
Whether you're restoring vintage hi-fi gear, building a new amplifier, or upgrading crossover networks, the Audio Note CAP-100-R-22U-500V delivers a significant improvement in clarity, warmth, and musical detail. As a member of the Kaisei series, it's a trusted choice for those who demand only the finest crossover components and capacitors in their audio projects. Experience enhanced dynamics and a more lifelike soundstage by choosing this exceptional electrolytic capacitor for your next high-end audio endeavor.
