Coupling capacitors give warm & sweet sound



Any Caps that provide similar sound to Jensen (PIO) eg warm, sweet mid range ? But more reliable.

To be used on my ASL Hurricane Tube Power amp.
I found mu current Hovland caps gives details, good image, but a bit thin and harsh.

Any advices.

While Hovlands never sounded right for me in LS, large Hovlands sound extraordinarily good as stock crossovers in Merlin speakers. One reason could be that the caps are cryo-treated. I wonder whether cryo treatment would close the sonic gap between some "premium" caps.
Undertow,

just in case my last post wasn't clear, Peter Moncreif and his associate at Running Springs are continually changing the recipe. Every time I've ordered them which is many many times over the years, they are slightly different. Sometimes the name/branding has changed, such as Infini Seti Signature to DynamiCap, sometimes it hasn't. Evidently, there is a brand new version that is now being used by Aesthetix as mentioned above. Incidentally, I usually remove some or all of the tape on the ones intended for electronics. I also run them in before installing them so I can get an accurate assessment.

Just FYI.
Near Brand new Link on another freak junky testing caps, and lots of them!! Some good info and again I totally agree on the mundorf, and sonicap platinums.. But Auricaps are a joke, and use to be like a dollar or 2 more than a Basic Solen cap, now are like 4 times their own price and 90% of the time I have heard them in the same application were no better or worse than a dollar Solen cap!
