In Reply to: RE: What's the most resolved capacitor after Vcap? posted by Ping on April 29, 2016 at 15:57:56
I replaced the output coupling caps in my pre-amp (emotive sire)with Jupiter coppers by-passed with smaller value v-caps. Best upgrade tweak I've ever done, and I have done a lot. very, very resolving w/o any sense of being etched or unnatural.

Kind of what I wanted to hear about the jupiter. How much less resolving is the Jupiter than the Vcap do you think?
I really cannot answer your question beyond what I have already said. I have used small value (less than .47mF) V-Caps in inter-stage coupling on SET amps. But I have never tried a V-Cap and a Jupiter Cooper alternatively in the same application so I cannot say which is more resolving. What I can say, and think I already have said is that in an output coupling application a larger Jupiter Cooper by-passed at about 2% of the value with a V-Cap yielded excellent results. Good extension at both ends, musical throughout the range, neither etched and bright nor slow and veiled. Plenty of natural resolution.
I asked because I thought maybe you tried the jupiter by itself before you bypassed it with the Vcap. Thanks.
