RE: Do russian teflon capacitors lack musicality?

These boutique snake oil parts have nothing to do with real world price / performance ratio.
Look at their web site. These super duper VCaps advertised with a ton of utterly useless blah blah blah and NO industry standard datasheet. $0.02 parts have data sheet with measurements, yet $100 don't. Possibly they will correct this in the future after 13 years of R&D lead by "collaborative effort of engineers, materials scientists, and some highly respected audio industry icons". These guys seem to be too modest to put their names on so great work.
Meanwhile consider using something like medicine without certification.
The fact customer's don't have to eat and digest these caps only saves sellers from state regulators.
