Capacitor

Dear @sns  and gentlemans : ""  W/K/V no coloration, only accurate. So, everyone using colored boutique caps has defective equipment which requires colored, distorted boutique caps to sound natural.  ""

Your words not mine. Tha's not the capacitor issue.

""   you have the best ears, equipment and caps  ""

Never posted that in this or other threads any where.

The boutique cap subject is similar to the boutique fuse one where the audiophiles convinced  by ( like me. I used those fuses too. ) use it as tone control/equalizers.
So it's totally normal that all internet " oficial " caps wider comparisons speak not of the true work for what caps were " invented " when using in copupling/filter tasks ow whatever. Yes, no where does comparisons speak which caps make the best technical measured job but the other way around: only speak of differences in tone characteristics when a cap must be neutral doing its task.
Is even " crazy " to see speaker crossover with 4-5-6 different brand of caps ( in electronics that could be because is different down there. ).

Other " weird " fact is that all the boutique caps need from 50 to over 250 hours to settle down ( to shine. ) and the " weird " issue is that in the site of manufacturers do not exist a simple chart/diagram how the cap measures after 5 hours and the huge differences after 100 hours. ! ! ?

Yes, I know that that makes sense to you because you already " experienced " that " fact ". No, W/K/V does not needs 100 hours to " shine ".

""  This thread is about why and what we like our chosen caps..""

Well my understand according the OP thread statement is that he was looking for an upgrade through cap changes.

Almost all of you just do not likes and feel " unconfortable " when some one as me post a totally different well founded " information " that was is your point of view. Yes, I know I'm not welcomed and is ok with me.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

I agree with Millercarbon! Good advice. 

@grannyring

Yes you did. Apologies my train of thought went a little haywire. 

I have in the past also found bypassing on a coupling cap position can have unexpected results, but it’s generally been a mixed bag.

I do like the sound of my pre, much much more now after the VCaps. But the fact that it has 4 caps per side in the signal path is concerning, so further optimizing these is something I believe is worthwhile considering.

Yes indeed. Agreed. The Cutf .01uf and Odam do make magic together in electronics such as your Pre. I use the combo all the time in Orchid dac upgrades.  

There are a bunch of very good caps ,I have over 20 years between electronics ,and Loudspeakers , I have  Vh Odams in a dac. And in a speaker ,very good capacitors . Millflex copper paper poly oil caps very respectable .
but, I find Jupiter copper foil caps outstanding in image depth tone and Bass not perfect but very good on top , the best bypass capacitors higher then 100 volts 
Are without question the VH audio CU -Copper Teflon caps which are VH Audio best capacitors .I mixed roughly 2+% ,to the Jupiter
copper foil coupling caps in the preamplifier ,A great combination now it is open airy and have excellent precision as well as very natural musicality .
personally I like better then  any capacitor out there including Duelund .
everyone has a opinion but unless you have tried this combination ,you are missing a special combination.
