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.

mozartfan,

It is with my experience the SGO Classic takes time to break in to sound their best.

This is a good read. Comparison test of many audio capacitors.

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.

Audyn caps
I designer I know found that Audyn caps can sound a little less detailed and slower than expected -and had to bypass them with Russian PIO caps to help them out.

Thanks Noro for  your experienced imput, 
I just installed the M SESG (=Silver  Gold Supreme EVO) .47 x 12  caps in my Defy last week, WOW, really nice details, Go to minute 23 and listen to faith Hill clearly detailed voice, every word can be distinctly heard. 
just a  really nice mod @ $45 per cap x 12. 
well worth the  cost.

if the Supremes will not fit ina  space, use the smaller brothers the White caps, EVO olil, half the price, much smaller
