I used Mundorf SGO Classic. I really liked the sound.
Took a while to break in though.

Mundorf Silver Caps
Need some personal testimonies from mods employing Mundorf top line caps, Supremes, Silver OIl.
I just had 8 M SGO caps installed in my cayin CD17 Mark1 and have found excellent results., In spite of the many critics who suggested <waste of money>>
There is a YT vid froma japenese tech who can not find any superior testing froma more expensive cap, and has doubts to the value of modding with new caps,...Yet there is another YT tech who employs M caps and has the units up for a sound test.
I can actually hear the superior mod with new M caps through my $10 computer speakers ,,in fact i hear a HUGE sonic gain.
I have plans to mod a new tube preamp i plan to add later this year and have my Defy7 recaed with M SGO caps. + My Speakers xovers with new M SGO caps.
I am sure jadis uses high quality caps, but high quality is not M caps.
I bet any money Jadis employs aluminum caps, whereas M caps are silver.

ahhh you see i am not a believe in this break in thesis/idea. To me its snakeoil. I wrote the ebay dealer if the oil vs non oil had much dif, he could not give mea staright asnwer = same sound,,why pay 2X's for non oil??? = Mundorf is pushing snakeoil. The white EVO SGO IMHO are same as Non Oil SG EVO. The only dif is the price. again, modding old caps to new M SGO brings in nuanaces of superior sonics,,its not like niight and day upgrade,,,but well worth the mod expense. My Lite LS9 caps arrive tomorrow, so next week will have installed and will make a YT video which i will post here. i have the AT7 version, without remote,,,i did not wanta remote, if breaks, how will you use the pre???? also i just took out the stock russian AT's and installed 6 + 1 E80 tubes,,yeahhhh now we are talking sound. man i love adore am facinated with the E80 tube. I have about 60 of that tube,,and my tube guy in washington sate is selling 20 for me, the rest i will list very high and sell a few each year. https://www.google.com/search?q=lite+ls9+images&sxsrf=ALeKk01iAi8sFzynw7AqNtji3JTsNqRlCA:1587729485733&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=z-Dt1jb5OPMtPM%253A%252CJrxgc2roU0B-ZM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQ9KvdP8GaDHMst8Q4GRw28dIFAfQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiK-PufgYHpAhVRmK0KHU1GBx8Q9QEwAHoECAoQFw#imgrc=z-Dt1jb5OPMtPM: |
This is a good read. Comparison test of many audio capacitors. http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html |
Hi, i would prefer Clarity cap MR, CMR or Audyn caps for projects like this. Better matched and less coloured. MR's CMR's especially can stand the heat in tubed units. Better caps are a worthwile improvement as resistors in certain spots. Besides @noromance suggestion you can find more technical info of caps in HiFi Collective. |
