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.

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

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.
