Jupiter Caps in tube preamp application

Dear @jimbones : I used too REL caps years ago and I can say for sure that in my first hand experiences today no other cap can beats Wima.

As I said you can't lost anything with.

@rauliruegas Will do. BTW I have been thinking about your previous posts regarding accuracy. what is "accuracy" anyway? How can you be sure that once component is more accurate over another. I know I am not qualified to make that judgement. I DO know what I like. So if something has an irritating edge and sounds hard that is more accurate because thats what music sounds like? I am not sure i agree. I stopped chasing accurate years ago. If something sounds like crap, I don't care how accurate it is, I don't like it. I think that most higher end audio equipment is good and is a matter of taste. Compare two $10K DAC's, both are most likely very good, but you will have a preference. And that is OK because you should. I think audio equipment has come a long way and there is a lot of good stuff out there to enjoy. No Stress.

If you make your own recordings, you’ll know what is faithful to the original event. This was actually a rather common practice in the old days of hi-fi.

It strikes me odd that so few today experiment by making their own recordings. It's never been easier to do, or more affordable to achieve excellent results.

So true, with software today it is easy. So I don't make my own recordings so therefore I am a little behind in that area. I am an older audio guy from way back and I am tired of chasing. I got away from the hobby for 15 years and when I got back I promised I would go back in with my eyes open and just try to build a system that satisfied me and not worry about the latest equipment in the magazines. I am at peace with my system Lol!

Dear @jimbones : Accuracy can means several things depending on what we are judging and accuracy is only one part of an overall audio item design.

Accuracy with out a good item design is useless. Accuracy must comes along good design with good passive and active parts.

Example: accuracy is always welcomed in the inverse RIAA eq. phono stages but it does not matters if the design is a bad design.

Everything the same accuracy makes the difference for the better. Accuracy is always a measurable characteristic.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
