RE: Do russian teflon capacitors lack musicality?

Posted by Michael Samra on February 21, 2017 at 14:37:55:
I never liked the Siderials at all..When they became Auricap,they improved a lot.The old 160P I would take out amps to replace with Siderials sounded better with the 160p. Here is the thing.Capacitors have come a ways but the the principle of what they hasn't changed.I like SonicCap teflons a lot.The 160P black beauties will outperform a any metallized cap as long as it's good in a Mac. On the phase inverter to voltage amp in a Mac amp,if you use anything but a paper in oil or paper in wax cap there,it will sound harsh,brittle,and compressed. These are the .047s.
