Give the V caps a LONG time to settle in and they may sound weird at times while settling in. Try not to listen critically during the process. They, the Teflons, never worked for me and there is no *best* cap...the one you prefer is best. I have been tempted to try the CuTf though."May be there is another brand of cap that someone might suggest through their experience that would have openness, transparency, large stage and 'organicness'. I like the honesty such as the bite of bow hair pulling at a violin string and gutsy bass."
The best thing you can do is research caps and experiment a little. I have a new to amp that has .1 uf Japanese Tochi Vitamin Q's on the 12ax7 input tubes. I paralleled a US made .01 uf Vitamin Q with them and like what I am hearing. I may try some Red Astron caps from Jupiter Condensor of the same value as an experiment. You can go broke and nuts trying boutique caps. You are a music teacher and when your system sounds like music to your ears leave it alone and enjoy it. :-)
