It's interesting what you wrote about bypassed Wima MKP10. I have a load of those Wima caps bypassing 12 PSU caps in my Audio Aero Equilibre PP amp and coupling caps are Wima bypassed by Hovlands. I also considered the "upgrade" because of so called smearing effect I'm reading on different forums all the time. Not to mention condescending (mildly speaking) opinions regarding those Wima caps. But, that French Amp was stirring the pot in US late in late 90's and it's still well regarded so I decided to just leave it alone. My Living Voice speakers are full of Hovland caps as well and I wouldn't dream of upgrading them since Kevin Scott spent years voicing that model. At the end "we like what we like" my friend said when I remarked that his 2a3 SET amp is choking on Altec 414 based speakers in big basement with his music of choice :) But he follows Joe Esmila path and what's good for Joe must be good for him as well. Myself I don't mind mylar film coupling caps in electronics, electrolytic caps in speakers and fat girls
