I agree with bottle necking. I found that out with cap upgrade in speakers. This is new to me changing caps but the results were pretty big in my system. I put CRM, Alumens and path resistors, they replaced Auricaps and was shocked how quiet and refined speakers became. That is why I'm doing Preamp which I've never done. I think Juniper copper may be best bet for me. Partsconnextion is out of copper value I need. Talked to Jeff at sonicraft if I heard him right he's fading out Jupiter and does not have my value. He is selling the Miflex and seems to really like them. I don't know much about Miflex but I never heard any of these copper caps including the Jupiter, buying blind. If I have to throw a dart at the board Im going for Jupiter copper, but all these copper caps have to good right? They must be better than what's in my amp now, Infinity, Rel and Solens. Changing caps in speakers changed character of the speaker for the good, I was good with that but I don't want to change character of my preamp. I like how it sounds just want it more refined, the amp pulls all the detail I need. Anyone compared Audyn and Miflex to Jupiter copper I'm just curious what you heard. Jupiter is only $100 more and sounds like most people like it.
