In Reply to: Russian paper in oil capacitors posted by sser2 on April 22, 2017 at 17:13:34:
It IS the big capacitors in rectangular metal cases. They simply shouldn't sound this good. But indeed they do. There has to be some synergies happening with the rest of my gear. It's the only plausible explanation.Update: Tried some other coupling capacitors in the following preamp stage, and there definitely is some synergy involved. The magical combination was and is with KBG-MN and FT-3 teflons. Even a Sprague Vitamin Q or a V-cap Cutf in the latter position can't beat it.
Update II: The KBG-MN's seems to have opened up a little bit with some burn in. Probably much more goodness awaits. Anyhow I changed back to Sprague Vitamin Q in my preamp just to have another listen to this combination of paper oils. I think it sounds great as well. A little warmish perhaps but the midrange is splendid. It's official. KBG-MN IS a great capacitor. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
