Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps

The Mundorfs are slightly better than the Clarity CAP SA.. The SA's are a little flat, and exagerrated in some balance details, more compressed sound... This will totally depend on the application, some equipment can be better with one or the other, but in this case the mundorf Silver/oil is a bit better, but at a cost obviously.

The best cap out of all of them and nearly equal to the best duelunds are the Clarity cap MR's.. However they are even more expensive than the Mundorfs best, but they are better than any of the mundorfs if you want solid dynamics, super smooth distortion free, and the best bass.

Auricaps the yellow ones I believe are just copies of the kimber caps, same manufacture, they both are not good to me from past uses, and are now overpriced, 5 years ago you could get them for 3 to 10 bucks a cap, they are like 5 times the price now just from popularity created over the name and being in a few hi end companies components pushing them as a "Upgrade"...

Sherod,
Thats the exact same application I first heard them in.. A Tube Pre output cap, 1 uF stereo pair. Excellent from day one, trounced the Auricaps originally in the unit, and all that followed, the Jantzens, the top line Mundorfs etc... Nothing wrong with them, and the bass(low frequency) foundation of these in a full range application like that is just scary!

I have sinced put them in for a friend similar application, same excellent results, and re-fitted a cheap MC phono stage with them that made it go from a 300 dollar sounding unit to a 5000 dollar sounding unit! I mean in a phono and simple tube preamp there is not much else there accept the absolute quality of the tube and caps, so you can really work wonders with these simple designs.
