Mundorf (non-oil) Silver / Gold EVO MCap Supreme coupling caps in your tube amp ???

decooney,

I did listen to my exact same tube amp with similar tube compliment with high-end V-Caps and it was a bit too lean for my taste. I’m hoping these new EVO caps sit somewhere in between and still retain a nice smooth sound.

I do believe that the new evo caps would be exactly what you are looking for.I have them in my Yamamoto A09s as coupling caps and the sound difference is much smoother than Vcaps that I had before.Another good choice may be the Jupiter ht copper foil they are not super expensive either.

Here is a link to a very good cap comparison website,

I'm running Mundorf Supreme's silver/oil in my KT88 single ended amp so can't answer your question, but here is another address if you're interested:

You are making me rethink replacing the original Wonder caps in my Melos 222 preamp with Clarity MR cap's though. 

kdude66, boxer12, thanks for your replies and links. Most excellent. :)

The post by Jon L on the audio circle link describes precisely what I was told by the folks who steered me to these more standard Gold/Silver EVO Mutdorfs based on what I am looking for. I was a uncertain about stepping away from oil caps in my amp; but already have oil caps in my pre-amp, and these Mutdorfs are for my tube amp and Jon L on ac notes this - Nice!

" Silver/Gold has a bit richer presentation from top-to-bottom with a bit creamier textures and a bit closer imaging. As one can imagine from this description, Silver/Gold doesn’t *quite* seem to be as Nth-degree clean as VCaps but renders more proportion of recordings more tasty.

I do not believe detail resolution is any less than VCaps, but a tiny bit more harmonic "bloom" over the notes makes music both sexier and less pellucid at the same time. Some people will absolutely love this quality and call Silver/Gold much "better" than VCaps while others will absolutely declare VCaps to be the better cap for the same reasons.", unquote.
