Help choosing coupling caps

Hard one to answer. I'm in the midst of experimenting with boutique caps, as usual, its all about synergy. I haven't decided whether all V-caps would be a good thing or not. I'm auditioning Duelund VSF's this weekend (burning in since Tuesday), hoping to add some warmth for my digital.

So, I guess you have to examine exactly where you're at, and what your present caps are.

I would also describe the V-Caps as extremely neutral, if you need more warmth, your looking for a relatively warm cap. The Duelands are reported to have a higher level of harmonic development vs. the V-cap, yet remain highly resolving, we shall see.

Having said that, I suspect V-Caps may be your best choice for the Dodds. At this point I'm thinking V-Caps may be hard or impossible to beat in tube equipment, Duelunds may be best for SS digital, speakers yet to be determined. Duelunds also may not work in your amp, 400v max. rating.

please let me know your impressions on the duelund caps
and how they sound

Thanks

The Teflon V-Caps take a goog 400 hours to run in before soundinig their best. Perhaps that is why you don't hear them as musical and natural sounding yet. Yes, they are revealing but not bright once broken in.

I am in the process of breaking the V-caps and they sound very fat and bloated, no space between the instruments for the first 100 hrs. I am at about 200 hours and they are now listenable, top end is better, and they are starting to sound different on every disc...to me the acid test. Before, the sound was very generic and the same...not good. They are neither warm or bright, they are just as the source is...neutral. I am using (4) .22/600V coupling caps and (2).47 600V caps. They are being compared to some custom styrenes, which up until now have been the reference I have heard. The v-caps must be heard to be believed. They are the real deal. Forget power cords, and resonance things until your caps are settled. Spending 2k on a cord when you could spend it on caps is not wise IMHO. Jallen

If you got the bucks for the V caps then go for it!!
Otherwise the Sonic Teflon caps are suppose to be excellent.
I am running a pair of Russion K40 PIO on the inputs and Mundorf Silver in Oil on outputs. I see no reason to change them. (Though I may try the Russians on the output also)
Warm full detailed and tight sound.
I'd say hit ebay and buy up some Russion military K40 caps, and be done. I have been told that these caps would be worth over $100 if made today.
