Hi, I had the N blackgates in my amp for a while, but recently switch back to the FK, except for the 300b cathode by-pass.

On my system the FK sound richer, the N is a bit too analytical.

  Hi Vincin,
  (was NX, not NH, 222uF/6.3v, sorry).
  How much time you run the break in period for the "N" type non-polar BG? I guess (and all people advise me) this will take a very long time before the bird sings properly.
  Regards,
  Beto

    I had N caps in my amp for like 3 - 4 months. They are very transparent, almost make the amp sound a bit thin and bright when I have the stock metal films resistors. The sound get better when I upgrade the resistors to a combination of AN tantalums and Riken carbon films. But overall I still prefer the FK better in my amp.

    I guess its more of a synergy thing, one should experiment to find the right combination. I think the PQ post gives a very sensible and cost effective road map for upgrading the amp.

    Have fun.

      Hi,
      yeah, I'm agree is a synergistic matter, of course and one must experiment. The only but is that applying all the upgrade group is a bit expensive. So I must go step by step to get the desire sound. Sincerely, I like very much the actual kit 1 sound, with just the standard stuff; just like to try if the better can be better, hahaha!
      Ciao
