The background for more than five years of development of their "own" oil paper capacitors by George Arsin and his team is based on the construction of a german "real" ultra high-end tube Amplifier, the four-part audio RIKE mono tube amplifiers EDZARD with a price tag in the 6-digit Euro range. A beauty in a number of ways, which is in this perfection not yet been announced or seen. Such an ambitious object also requires ultra-perfect components – no doubt about it. And this is of course and in particular true for capacitors. Since there are very well designed capacitors in the market, these just didn't reach the demanded extremely high bar in terms of sound quality. Therefore an experienced "capacitor-engineer" together with Mr. Arsin developed a new generation of oil paper capacitors. Countless listening sessions resulted in a perfect balance of all relevant parameters. Of particular note are the special oils and the art of manufacturing. All Rike Audio oil paper capacitors are manufactured in Germany and seamlessly build on to the decades-old tradition of German engineering in this field. The current oil RIKE paper program includes 2 qualities, S-caps2 (standard capacitors) and Q-Cap (quality capacitors): S-Cap2 (Aluminum) This RIKE audio oilpaper standard capacitor reaches the highest standards and is characterized by a powerful dynamic in the entire frequency band. These properties are difficult to find in "normal" paper capacitors in this quality.
