Yes, it is very easy to get the bypass wrong and thou it made a difference and improvement, usually there are shortfalls.
Knowing what top capacitors sound, combining them to excellence is an art in itself and can be very rewarding.
My interest was recently piqued with the hybrid which Grannyring mentioned but don't think i want to spend that kind of money and didnt order it this time. likely knowing even try silver foil bypasses leads will lead to a very expensive cap combination which i strongly have reservation whether it will work out to my liking.
Again, one must know what he or she wants and expects. Knowing the traits of each cap is a big advantage.
I have been testing the bypasses with rca connections so i can remove them and switch.
I felt adding the SIO did improve things overall, but still didnt quite like the way the sio leaves a strong sonic footprint on all kinds of music, losing that ability to distinguish and show different recording in a different light and the way it was recorded, but it was the best i could muster.
Knowing what i wanted and missed what the tftf can do so well, even better than the cuft, is depth and frequency extremes.
Another revelation was encountered, adding another 0.01uf tftf using duelund silver hookup wire after the leads to the combination allowed the glorious midrange return, imparting the blackness between instruments, extension and depth i felt ever so lacking. It just would not work without the addition of the sio and duelund wire!.
I think i finally hit it on the spot and although expecting the SGO to arrive any time today, i no longer feel the need to swap the sio out. I'll leave it on the cooker for a week or so before try again.
