Coupling capacitors give warm & sweet sound



Any Caps that provide similar sound to Jensen (PIO) eg warm, sweet mid range ? But more reliable.

To be used on my ASL Hurricane Tube Power amp.
I found mu current Hovland caps gives details, good image, but a bit thin and harsh.

Any advices.

Thanks Undertow. I believe there is a new version of the DynamiCap that is used in the new upper end Aesthetix Io Eclipse phono stage.

As you may know a lot of these caps are designed and manufactured by the same person, not that they are the same cap!
Undertow,

were your comparisons done as coupling caps in tube electronics or in speakers? What were your impressions of the DynamiCaps? And were they all sufficiently burned in?
The DynamiCaps are indeed descended from Wondercap through about 4 iterations but are actually made, as are the Cardas and many others, by the gentleman from Running Springs.

Thanks again for sharing your experiences.
Undertow,

just in case my last post wasn't clear, Peter Moncreif and his associate at Running Springs are continually changing the recipe. Every time I've ordered them which is many many times over the years, they are slightly different. Sometimes the name/branding has changed, such as Infini Seti Signature to DynamiCap, sometimes it hasn't. Evidently, there is a brand new version that is now being used by Aesthetix as mentioned above. Incidentally, I usually remove some or all of the tape on the ones intended for electronics. I also run them in before installing them so I can get an accurate assessment.

Just FYI.
