In Reply to: Replacing CJ Polystyrene caps to Mundorf Silver in Oil on CJ amps posted by Jason Michael on April 24, 2007 at 23:20:39:
If you want an opinion of a person who compared lots of caps, look for the capacitor shootout in the Chinese audio magazine. Coupling caps can make an important difference in the sound. I suspect that the Mundorf caps would improve the sound over the stock caps.The capacitor value affects the bass. A smaller value will pass less bass than the larger value. Whether it will make a significant difference in the bass you hear is a function of the grid resistance it sees at the output tube.

Is the cap shootout online? If so, could you please post a link?Thank-you,

Here it is ....
I've read the 21 caps shootout and known that the V-caps and the AN Teflon caps are the best sounding caps as per the reviewer. But the cost is the one hindering me to use them :). The Mundorf Silver in Oil is just right for my budget .I've upgraded the coupling caps of my Cayin A88T to Mundorf Silver in Oil and very happy with the results. Quite easy to accomplish since this amp uses point to point soldering. Not really sure if lowering the value from 0.15uf to 0.1uf will give significant audible effect.
If you have some 0.1 uF caps laying around (even crumby ones), you can put them in to test their effects on bass. If Ok, then you can purchase the better Mundorfs in confidence.Retsel
