Great thread. Let me state I joined the Lore family in May 2011, and have never looked back. See my adventures at AudioCircle (screen name Jazzaudio). I purchased mine from Eric with Sonicaps long before he offered Mundorfs as an upgrade. Why Sonicaps? I had a single-ended Eddie Vaughn tube amp that used Mundorfs and I was blown away by the sound. I also upgraded a pair of Klipsch Fortes with Bob Crites crossovers that featured Sonicaps and was also blown away by the sound (this time in direct comparison to 30+ year old original caps.) Sonicap reviews at 10audio.com and Humblehomemadehifi.com, and comparisons to the Mundorfs, convinced me to try the Sonicaps in my Lores. I'm using a Dayens Ecstasy II solid state integrated amp, and getting incredible sound!!! Fast, quick hig hend with Zero harshness. Great depth and soundstage. Tone, tone, tone!! Deep, tight bass....with tone!
