any experience/opinions about Obbligato caps?

Have you made any decision on the Obbligato's? I just bought a pair of 0.47 uF Russian teflon FT-3's off ebay for $33 ($16 for the caps and $17 for shipping). I'll be using them as output caps in a Bottlehead Seduction. I'm looking forward to receiving them. Best, Mark

Mark, I've decided not to go with the Obbligatos, likely not enough warmth for this application. If the Mundorfs don't work out I'll try the Auricaps, perhaps Cardas Golden Ratio, or Jupiter Beeswax.

The Mundorfs really aren't that far off, just need a bit more warmth, I'm trying different isolation techniques, this weekend should tell more. I really want the Mundorfs to work as the increased resolution is really nice. I also suspect the Mundorfs would be perfect in a tube DAC, wish I still had my Audio Aero Prima DAC (same as in Capitole) or Audio Logic 24mxl to try them in.

Let us know how the Russian caps work out.

Scott, Just curious whether you ever measured DC offset at output or checked the DIY forums to see if you really need coupling caps at all. It was feasible for me to remove them from a stock SCD-1, and probably is similar situation with many SS DACs & CDPs.
