Black Gate
Capacitors.


The Black Gate production has stopped in 2006, after 18 years of availability. The capacitors were manufactured by Rubycon under license for Jelmax Co.Ltd. Jelmax Co.Ltd. has closed its doors in August 2007 after selling all their remaining stock.

The only stocks of Black Gate that will remain available will be those held the retail distributors. This is your last chance to acquire the best electrolytic caps ever made !

Black Gate

Invented by Kazuo Ishi and manufactured under license by Rubycon these capacitors are a must for anyone seriously involved in music. The Black Gate effect is known to all that tried them, forget polypropylene or other foil types. Actual blind test's prove the effect. For best result use the Super E-Cap configuration. Expansive yes but do compare our prices with others. For an explanation of the Super E-Cap please refer to our technical section.

Black Gate Standard
The real champion capacitor superior to any other existing ones regarding every feature. The cathode electrode is especially formed at 2V, and distortion is extremely low. Limitlessly improves equipment S/N. Capacity tolerance: ±20%.

Black Gate FK
Extended cathode formation voltage of standard Black Gate to nearly 10V for being close to a non-polarized structure. Successfully decreased the distortion that affects signals. Suitable for all electronic equipment.

Black Gate N NX NX Hi-Q
The king of Black Gate realizes perfect non-polarized operation for the first time, holds a revolutionary features. Improves any equipment performance a great deal. No capacitor can be equal in digital pulse transfer at super high speed.

Black Gate NH
Successfully extended the operation voltage of non-polarized Black Gate to sharply 350V. The performance is so amazing that can listlessly rectify and smooth an AC power supply. Contributes revolutionary to future SR power supplies.

Black Gate WKZ
Created for use in Hi-Fi vacuum tube amplifier. Developed from an asymmetrical non-polarized Black Gate, and provided a reverse counter voltage characteristic of 160V or 250V to its cathode. The excellent transparency, resolution and presence are desired by audiophiles all over the world. The diameter of 35mm is compatible with conventional products.
