RE: cApacitors are the new cables

Well I like paper and oil sound. Duelund is the only company that makes a copper paper and oil without the extra noise that Jensen has. I think paper and oils get misrepresented. People say they are slow, warm and romantic. I think the snap of a kick drum is faster on a PIO than any other type. They do sound a bit warm but with good ballance and without sounding dry like a lot of caps do. If you think you need more high frequency, try bypassing somewhere with a low value Jensen silver foil. Very nice. The problem I have is with large caps 2uf and above. They get too big and expensive. Especially Duelund. I have some 3uf jupiter ht in my phono section. They sound very good. Jupter HT copper are tripple the price. That's cheaper than Duelund but I couldn't fit Duelund in there anyway. I am tempted but it is still 4 to 5 hundred for two caps.

I tried audyn true copper. They may be great for speakers. But in electronics I found them a bit slow but with a nice tone. The true copoer also uses those litz leads that are too big and are a pain.

IMO, best bang for buck.... Duelund RS bypassed with Jensen silver foil. Watch the prices skyrocket now. I should just STFU.
