Hi,
There are 2 production series of pio caps with copper housing :
- old model : sides with hard and polished material
- new model : sides rubber covered , smaller size
The new model is OK.
The old sounds good at the beginning but after a time ,
it suffers form oil leak (like venerable british bikes) and the sound
degrades . I have verified it on a lot of caps !
Alas ther are still old models in Audio-Note shops.
I would strongly advise to verify , if you buy some , that they are
new models. The old should go to garbage can.
