Anyone have direct experience with these caps for xovers or bypassing?
I have talked to a few folks that swear by Oil caps and these look like they are worth a try.Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've used these for signal coupling in my tube amp, and they are pretty decent. My impressions are that they tend towards a larger-than-life presentation, and they are not the most transparent caps you can find. However, they have a quite nice tonality to them, and their richness makes them very pleasant to listen to.I've now moved on to Jensen copper foils, and as you'd expect they are an improvement, particularly in transparency, dynamics, and tonality. The coppers are a little drier-sounding, but mine aren't fully broken in yet, either (they might have 100 hours on them).
Before Angela's recent price-hikes, I'd say the Sequas were an excellent value. But the prices have been raised almost 50% from just a while ago, making them somewhat less of a bargain.
If you do use them, please post your impressions.
