Rike Audio capacitors in own distribution
Dear customers, we have good news:
Rike Audio now sells capacitors worldwide through its own sales organisation.
We no longer work with external distributors and companies, as our capacitors are now copied in Asia and also in Europe and sold under our label.
These replicas are not oil paper capacitors but MKPs or even lower quality capacitors that only look like our products. In Asia, for example, there are no companies that have the machinery and expertise to produce capacitors of Rike Audio quality.
We very often receive emails and calls from customers who have bought counterfeit capacitors on Aliexpress or other portals and are very disappointed.
We cannot replace these capacitors as they are not Original Rike Audio capacitors!
We can only warn against buying from these portals.
Original Rike Audio Capacitors are now only available in our Rike Audio Online Shop. We no longer supply dealers and distributors.
For the end customer, this eliminates the middlemen and the associated margins.
There is now only one price for manufacturers and end customers.
In addition, this year we have reached a volume that allows us to offer Rike Audio capacitors at even lower prices.
We now buy the raw materials directly from the manufacturers and not through their distributors as before.
The price of some of the raw materials has also fallen. Although the paper used is currently 25% more expensive, other materials used by Rike Audio are cheaper to buy. The price of aluminium has fallen significantly, so we can offer aluminium capacitors at a correspondingly lower price.
Copper has only become marginally cheaper, so that we can offer the corresponding capacitors at a slightly lower price.
Rike Audio always endeavours to pass on more favourable production costs to the customer.
Original Rike Audio Capacitors are manufactured using real aluminium or copper foil and paper or polypropylene as insulation. This is much more expensive than using vaporised polypropylene film, but it is the only way to produce high quality audio capacitors.
A vapour-coated film only belongs in an industrial capacitor, which is intended to fulfil a completely different requirement and not in a loudspeaker or amplifier. Accordingly, we don't have anything like this.
Musical greetings,
Your Georg Arsin
Rike Audio MY CAP • High-End Audio Capacitor
Our new aluminium-mylar-rike-special-oil capacitor is in production.
After years of development work, the new Rike Audio capacitor is ready for production. It is a real high-end audio capacitor at a very reasonable price and is therefore suitable to refine any loudspeaker or amplifier project.
With a dielectric strength of 1000 VDC, this capacitor is also suitable for tube amplifiers with very high voltages.
Rike Audio is the only capacitor manufacturer in the world that produces eco-friendly capacitors and uses suitable materials that do not harm people and the environment.
