Obbligato
 film and premium oil capacitors


In the audio world there aren't many low cost - high quality film caps. Some of the ones commonly available are a little edgy sounding, add sssh, and sing along with the music due to loose windings, voids or poor quality films etc.. Obbligato caps are made with extra tight winding, no voids and thick coated aluminum film imported from Germany. Lead outs are soldered copper, solid core for the dry types and for most of the oil types. Spec'd at 5% but on average much closer than that. Sound can be subjectively described as smooth and easy.

Consider these to be the equal to supreme or premium series film caps.

Obbligato capacitors

Obbligato premium film power supply cap (500VDC)

New! Purpose designed Obbligato Premium Film Power Supply Film Caps. Not oil filled. Non-polarized but the black wire should be used as ground and the tabbed end for B+ rail. Although rated at 47uf/500v these are not like electrolytic's that pop when overvoltaged and can be safely used in circuit to rated maximum. Constructed axially for the lowest possible inductance. Wound tight with no voids.

With Black Gate disappearing we need to find a new solution. A key measurement is dissipation factor which measures how much of the signal gets soaked up by internal losses (power supply ARE in the signal path).

Some sample dissipation factor measurements at 100hz:

Rubycon Electrolytic 47uf/450v
0.061
Black Gate 22uf/350v
0.026
Obbligato Power Cap 47uf/500v
0.00015
