Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps

Anyone compared 0.22 mf Kimber coupling caps in Cary amps? I have purchased Jensen copperfoil/oil caps, opened my Cary SLI-50 integrated and saw yellow Kimber metallized polypropylene capacitors. Are they any good and will the Jensens be an upgrade?

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.

I replaced the Kimbers with Jensen, they were better, more soft sounding though.. however Mundorf Silver/oils are superior to the Jensens in all applications I have used either. Only reason I even started in with the jensens is they were available to me before I ever knew about the mundorfs.
