Re: What's about Hovland?

62.42.63.4

>>>Ansar will be the best Price/Performance?

among the caps i know, for my taste, to my ears and in my system,
i have to say yes, absolutely!

>>>since Auricap and Jensen so expensive.

well, not that much, i think; it all depends on what you expect
from your system to offer you; if you have a high resolution
MUSIC system, are rather obssesed by transparency and usually
enjoy symphonic music to the highest degree, i'd consider
upgrade the ansasr; otherwise you may well be very happy with them!

>>>Are you going to evaluate Hovland as well?

well, hovlands are very expensive (i think they are clearly
overpriced, btw) and are manufactured just till 10uF, so
i'd have to go paralleling, and when you do so, you allow
a few more variables to complicate your evaluations, BUT
if someone send me a set of them i'll be happy to experiment
with them and post muy results (i enjoy experimenting!)

>>>I am using Ansar caps with Hovland bypass. It's improved everything,

great! yet did you compare the sonic results with and without
the bypass? if not i'd say do it and keep what sound best to you

>>>I wonder if there are any different with Jensen?

well, it all depends upon your system, taste and ears,
as i said before

good luck!
best, paco
