Help choosing coupling caps

I have an Audioprism Mantissa tubed linestage and have upgraded the caps to teflons (Chris V V caps) amazing sound and very revealing

I'm now thinking of changing the caps on my dodds. i'm looking at v caps once again however the cost and revealing nature of these caps may become "too much of a good thing" and perhaps I should look at a similar quality cap that errs a bit on the neutral/warm side of things

Anyone have experience using different caps in conjunction with Chris Teflons
i'm in process of gathering information at this time any relevant input is very much appreciated

After a bit of humming and hawing i'm going to try out the k40 PIO replacing the coupling caps in my tube amps.
These have great potential.... we shall soon find out

Thanks to everyone that posted ..your input is very much appreciated

Quick update
I used the mundorfs in my cdp and I really like the sound now hoping to get a similar performance with the Russian Caps in my Amps
IMO Russian caps in combination with Teflons is a very good mix

FWIW...I have had good results with Mundorf M-Supreme caps. Very detailed,increased clarity,and smooth as silk with no brightness....relaxed. The supreme are physically a smaller footprint than the SIO caps. Exceptional in my tube dac.

Not surprised you like the Mundorfs in the CDP, I thought they would have been perfect in my two prior tubed DACS. Not so great in SS digital.
