Just as outrageously priced designer cables opened up new revenue streams for every creative manufacturer with an ace marketing ploy in the past thirty years, so now capacitors are the latest audiophile toy, and there's plenty of excess cash to be harvested.
Just as with cables, there are basic elements that can be employed to make superior parts; the rest is BS. Copper foil is one of them, and it's worth every penny. No metalized cap can equal the realistic tonal and spatial qualities of a true film and foil configuration, and copper is far superior in every respect to tin and aluminum.
The Audyn True Copper is the best value of the many I've tried. You can spend a lot more money and probably not get much, if any, better performance, at least for line level applications.
Lots of marketing gibberish out there to take advantage of the gullible who must have a famous brand name or the latest "development". Perhaps Duelund is worth the price, but I can't possibly afford one so I'll never know. My TC's are so good, I have no desire to experiment any more.
No matter what material and miraculous new technology is used, a metalized cap will likely not be the equal of a decent film/foil.
Did you get the pun?
Peace,
