Capacitor


Dear friends I am interested to upgrade my caps in the tube preamp from Audio theta tin foil 3uf200VDC to Miflex1uf 240VDC copper foil what are your thoughts will reducing the value to 1uf affect the bass and frequency response or should I go with a higher value than 3uf

" Does changing the amp caps also make a difference"

Yes, definitely. As far as tube components go - wherever you have a cap in the signal path, replacing it higher quality cap will improve sound. DAC, amp, pre amp doesn't matter. Some may have a larger impact than others, but all will contribute. 

Let us know how you like the Jupiters.

My pre is going non stop. By days end on Sunday I’ll be at 75 hours. From then I’ll resume my standard operating procedure of powering down before hitting the sack.
cakyol,

I knew you would know the answer without the chest thumpin’, and making my brain hurt.. :-)

Thanks again..

Dear @jbhiller  : ""  I do believe I hear better signal through two of the Vcap lines and others..""

Agree with you because I was seated rigth " there " and was what I like it  even " love " it too.
I was not " stupid " to spend thousands of dollar ( through several years. ) in almost all but the Jupiter caps if I was not satisfied with.
So I understand you perfectly as to the other gentlemans.

Certainly I'm not against you or any one else but only in favor of MUSIC that at the end is what really matters.


Btw,  """  tell me I am not hearing what I have heard, that I have wasted my money, or that I have behavioral health problems, ................................. but your "expert knowledge".. """

Pauly I never posted that kind of words or statement to you or any one else.

The " problem " is that exist on almost all of you a " misunderstood " of what is the main target on the overall capacitor subject.

Again, because I already posted in this thread at least 2 times,: WHAT IT MATTERS IS NOT WHAT I LIKE IT ( or any one else. ) THE MORE BUT WHAT A CAPACITOR SHOULD DOES. WHY EXIST A CAPACITOR.

So the issue are not us but the capacitor true/real operation task with foundation in evidence/facts/measures.

All the boutique caps are colored and its colorations is what makes us happy and this reality is not under discussion but fact is that caps as Wima/Kemet/Vishay with evidences performs as the caps should performs: signatureless  - lower colorations and we are not accustomed to. That's all and that explain why the OP already decided to buy what goes with his priorities.

Is he wrong? no it's not it's what he like it. Simple.

Pauly: " expert knowledge ", here you are wrong because I'm only starting to learn about caps as Wima and the like as a fact thank's to this thread I learned when I found out that first link I posted with technical information and measures that by coincidence ( I was unware of that information before this thread. ) confirm my new experiences about what those " humble " caps can shows.

Raul, I’m sorry. I’m having trouble tracking your points. Sounds like you tried other caps, liked them, and later found them to add too much color. So, you went to or back to a good quality Wima cap. 
I don’t hear material colorations with VCap or ClarityCap. What I hear is better spatialization, clearer pictures, and bigger more defined images. 
One of my favorite records is Lou Rawls and Les McAnn, They Call it Stormy Monday. I’ve listened to it at least hundreds of times. With Vcaps in the signal chain I can hear Rawls move his mouth in different directions while singing into the microphone. It was so spooky on discovery as it made me hear deeper into the recording and gave a stronger sense of realism across the experience.
