Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil

Anyone compared the bass response of these two caps?  I bought the Supremes for trial purposes and really loved what they did to my system's imaging (front to back layering) and immediately bought the Silver Gold Oil Supremes.  Unfortunately while they were smoother, more beautiful, and even better at imaging, they had no bass (actually, they lost bass as they broke in).  Anyone know how the Silver Oil's fit into the line?  

I'm using them in a Don Sach's DS2 Preamp ( https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7983).  

Thanks.

Yeah, I had them in the pre for a couple months of daily listening... would still love to try the cutf and odams.
The Cutf is really the only part we've been playing for some years. My comments are based on them. We installed the ODAMs in one of our preamps (UV-1) and they were quite nice.

Looking forward to your evaluation on those ODAMs; mine should arrive on Saturday and then onto the cooker and should have them installed by next weekend.

Wig. They are said to perform even better, great results, with a .01uf Vcap CuTF as a parallel/bypass cap. That is how I am using them.

Thanks for the tips! I think we have stumbled on some special caps that does about everything right and it's musical...
