Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps

This is one of those questions where there is no right answer. Since coup. caps are a must in tube products, using them is something like a tone control. The only way to know for sure is to try them, let them break in, and see if u like them. If you dont try something else. I find the Kimbers perform well especially when price is a consideration. G.

Coupling caps are not a must in tube amps. All of my amp stages are transformer coupled and the only caps are oil/film caps in the power supplies.

Transl, is anything touching the v-cap capacitor such as self stick tape or sticky putty. I have found that teflon capacitors (perhaps others) can take on the dielectric signature of something touching the outer case.

Hi
I installed .22uf Rel Teflon's in my Cary Sli 80, replacing the Audio 1's. Thay take a long time to break in, but the difference was astounding! Everything opened up. I lifted a heavy veil from to to bottom.

Reb: The V-caps are located free in space (no tapes) and don't touch anything.
