@billwojo Polypropylene caps do have a type of coloration that you may not notice until you "roll" other capacitor types into your equipment. The most natural sounding caps (IMHO) are caps that incorporate wax and/or oil.
Insulation for bare wire can be purchased as Teflon or cotton tubing. I've used both and I agree that cotton does sound more natural only when I use it in moderation. There was a point that I used cotton tubing exclusively but music started sounding brittle after using too much. Now I alternate between both materials when I mod.
@kalali I unplug the component before I work on it. That saves my life every time :p
@cal3713 I may revisit the Mundorf S/G/O for the tweeter network. Your assessment of it's imaging seems to match Tony Gee's. It may provide depth but is the stage wide or narrow as if you're looking down a pipe or tunnel? I really dislike imaging that crams everything in the middle.
