Jeez, Russ! You know how to put me on the spot :-)
I'm know I'm venturing out onto a really shakey limb...but, here's my take:I've used all sorts of vintage caps [most notably Vitamin Qs] and, for the most part, I think they share many of the general attributes of the Audio Note and Jensen oil caps: a bit of artificial midrange "fullness/richness" [especially when compared to my reference Mundorf Silver Supremes]. It is a sound that often meshes *amazingly* well with certain amp/speaker combinations...unfortunately, those desirable qualities also tend to (generally) fall apart the closer to the source you get.
NOTE: I'm not saying that they sound exactly like the Jensens or Audio Note oilers...just that they share the same family of midrange "fullness/richness" sound. The Jensen/Audio Notes are quite a bit better behaved at the frequency extremes.But, I have absolutely never thought any vintage capacitor let more information through vs the Jupiter caps or the teflons [V-Cap, Rel-Cap or NOS Soviets].
