Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil

Yes. I need to understand circuits better to give the technical reason why, but in my pre the outer foil points "upstream" (away from the outputs). The mundorfs are supposedly non-directional, but I’ve seen a video where people hook it to to an oscilloscope and show that it passes more noise in a particular orientation.

Here’s a decent discussion on the topic: https://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=11427.0

Thanks for the link. I found the video where i saw the capacitor polarity topic discussed.

P.S. Sorry if a bit off topic but might be of interest.

That's also a great video, thanks for posting.

Also, wow that guy's test bench.

Well I have to echo wig’s description of the ODAM’s after 48 hrs of use they are incredibly holographic and articulate across the board with vocals and instruments. Songs that I thought just had grunge or hash as part of its recording sound much more detailed and clean but not overly so because everything is still very musically engaging.

Now I also bypassed them with the Vcap CuTF’s but I’m hearing pretty much wig has reported. I feel like I almost got a new preamp for a small investment. Speaking of small these ODAM’s are tiny compared to the Mundorf m-cap silver 2.2uF caps they replaced. So far I’m very pleased with their performance and if they get better well that’s just gravy.
