Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil

Hey @wig.  What caps were you using before the ODAM’s? You still have the Don Sachs?

@ t_ramey

Former Caps in DS2 Pre were 0.47 Miflex.

@ grannyring

Will also explore the CuTF bypass, I understand that this combo gives better extension at the top end. After this mod, I would have been in the ballpark in terms of price for the Deulunds but there is no down side to V-Caps and glad it worked out : )

Sweet, thanks wig.

I was wanting to go with the Miflex in my preamp but they’re just too damn big and thankfully grannyring came along with the ODAM suggestion. They’re smaller and cheaper than the Miflex so I’m looking forward to trying them. I did place an order for the CuTF .01 too!

@t_ramey I think you made the right decision.  As I stated earlier, I wasn't really impressed with the Miflex's, unless you're system is focused entirely on tone at the expense of imaging.

My technician was able to install inside Don Sachs pré in addition to the Miflex 0.47 uF the Jupiter Copper Foil 2.2 uF for my Accuphase P-6100 which has 20 Kohms input. It is still early to definitive conclusions but the bass is certainly much more evident, fuller and more realistic timbre compared to Miflex, I believe that due to more correct capacitance. A larger capacitor would not be possible. In the future maybe bypass with the V-Cap CuTF or Duelund copper or silver (0.01 uF).
