Yep...

If you are using values of the SSG silver micas and/or the teflons that are so low in value as to cut off audible low bass frequencies, they will appear "bright" (obviously). Further, they may appear bright in comparison to the PIOs because they afford a more extended hf response, but that's more a matter of conjecture. I've done no measurements. However, I have compared the K40s to some domestic polystyrene film and foils, in the output of a phono stage, and I far prefer the latter. The K40s sound a bit dull by comparison, although not "bad" in any sense. Too bad also that the Russian teflon capacitors are so physically large for a given value; above 0.1uF, I virtually cannot fit them in to most gear.
