RE: C0G ceramic Kemet Gold Max Series 300 ?

Just replaced the 220pf Evox PFR aluminum foil PP with Vishay KP1830 (ERO) tin foil PP in a dac. Much much better. Brightness, glare , thinness in cymbals, slight thinness in my test voice and an increased in the irritation of sibilance all gone or way reduced. These are very natural sounding caps. Many good things have been said about tin foil in general and this is my first listen to a tin foil cap. Very impressed. Hopefully they will get better sounding with break in. A blue Wima foil cap from a long time ago was horribly bright, the Evox's are a bit bright and unnaturally thin sounding and I remember cheap small styrenes as being somewhat bright. This tin foil cap has none of those drawbacks and may be the real deal. In my humble opinion. Your mileage may vary. T
