Well, I am on both sides. I don't like oil capacitors as coupling capacitors, because they (the ones I have heard, including the K40s) tend to make everything sound the same, which is to say they color the sound. I can hear this in my own equipment in my own system, perhaps because I am so familiar with it, whether or not it can be measured. But I also avoid using oil capacitors in coupling applications because I too have had the experience with leaky boutique oil caps, in my case, Jensen and VTV (not K40s, I agree). I do agree that the old Sprague oil capacitors are sound as a (oil) drum... but sound awful. Anyway, they contain PCBs.

I am going to predict that Dueland will make good on this problem, because they really should, both for the sake of their reputation and in fairness to the OP.
