Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps

It's just my bad English - I installed the Jensens in place of Audio 1, and such mod was approved by Cary. They really tend to be bright but, at the same time, they are much more airy and transparent and have a deeper soundstage.
Using tubes as tone controls? This is what tube rolling is all about. When I replaced the Kenrad 6SN7/VT-231 tubes by Sylvania VT-231, the sound became more transparent and 50% of brightness disappeared.

I have alot of experience with this. Caps make a huge difference in sound. I put Jensen copper in foil caps in my 805C, 300SE and now my SLM200's The caps actually take a long time to break in. But when they do, you will hear it. About 100 hours is right. This is not hype, it is very easy to hear in a very resolving system. I do not like the sound of the kimber caps. For preamps, I would not recommend the Jensens. I put them in my SLP98 preamp and it just didnt do it for me. In there, I spent the bucks and put in REL Teflons. They made a great preamp into one of the best i have heard.
I have experimented with caps for over 15 years now, it is not hype. dont ask me to explain why, i cant. But it is real to me and others that I have helped.

Linnlp12,If you don't mind would you tell where do you shop for the caps?

Yes, the difference in capacitors is clearly audible. You should think about the power supply caps if yours has electrolytics.
These power supply caps will transform your preamp if you have the room.

Henry, if Michael Percy sells it, that's where I buy it. http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf

Herman, I agree about the ASC 'propylenes in powersupplies. I've replaced the 2nd-pole caps in my ASL 805 DTs with 2 40uFs in parallel (instead of 2 270uF 'lytics in series); the amp sounds audibly cleaner...less gritty. Percy sells them in 20uF and 40uf. If one can get by with 600V. caps, I use Solen 630s (usually the 47uFs), bypassed with '1.22'uF NorthCreek Harmonys. http://www.northcreekmusic.com/Zen.html
