ASL Hurricane's -- paper-in-oil, verdict?

OK, now that the "new" version of this much lauded amp is out in the marketplace, does anyone have an evaluation of the "paper-in-oil" caps vs. the MIT caps version that Harry Pearson gushed over?

HP is supposed to do a follow-up, but who knows when that will be....

DOES THE LATEST VERSION SOUND AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL?

Denf....this is wonderful! I am happy you are in sonic bliss!! I am wondering if the "oil-in-paper" version is the latest or if the one Rb99 (PIO (GREEN METAL)CAP version)
is the latest?? My Hurricanes are the origional (MIT caps). Did you purchase yours as the latest or did you have yours updated??

Rwd; I purchased mine as the latest version, oil-in-paper installed. Also has the "triode/pentode" switch. Still continue to be amazed at the sound of these iron-fist in a velvet-glove beauties!

They continue to sound more "relaxed" and even more dynamic with more burn-in.

I'm also equally impressed with the incredible bass I get out of 'em! Surpasses anything else I've owned up to this point -- and they have all been solid state (!?) Go figure!

Welp, back to sonic nirvana!
