Hi Scrooie,
Your advice is very much appreciated and I will look into that. I do have some more costly Jensen oil caps of same specs (fro Fisher) but haven't managed to give them a try. I'll need to learn the basic techniques first. BTW, how come I haven't heard much talk about those modern oil caps in vintage gears, regardless the cost? Are they inferior in such applications? Just wondering...
Thanks again, tc

Hi tc,
While I`ve tried the majority of film caps out there,my oil cap experience has been limited to various Vitamin Qs for small signal applications in pushpull amps.They have`nt worked out for me.So,I can`t speak intelligently about other modern types.On the other hand SETs seem to react quite differently to oil caps in the signal path,but that`s a different forum.
Soon I`ll be trying some Ampohm oil caps in my vintage gear,mainly due to their higher impedance.They may behave in a way that is similar to the original types found in many vintage amps.We`ll see/listen.
Good luck scrooie looie
Yes, please share your listening impression here (or in email) once that's done, I'll be interested in trying that. Where can I acquire these Ampohm oil caps?

Hi scrooie,
Do you mind if I send you an email, instead of posting my naive questions here? Thanks.
