However, it isn't wise to generalize. In the right places and in the right gear Holco all copper resistors and RTX Multicaps can be really good. I'm a big fan of the RTX caps in particular...they do well used with K40s BTW.

The point was, I was under the naive impression 20 some years ago that upgrading resistors and caps to those of better quality would turn a pair of Dynaco MK-IIIs into a pair of Marantz 9s. That's a bit of an exaggeration, of course, but I knew nothing about the importance of power supplies, output transformers, and input stages back then. My expectations from a parts upgrade were unrealistic.
I posted my experience with RTX caps and Holco resistors based on the original poster seeking to close the gap between his amp, and the sound of a Marantz 8b via coupling caps, not to trash my choices.
