If your caps are only 9 years old and not showing any leakage or audible effect its unlikely you need to replace them. Unless of course you just want to try something new.
Duelund JAM paper in oil , Cu foil Capacitors as coupling caps on Tube Amp
On my tube amp from Cary Audio, I have been happily enjoying sound of Jensen Paper in Oil , Copper foil, Alu Case capacitors ( value 0.22 / 630 VDC ) as coupling caps. I like its lush , liquid sound, not harsh. As they are 9 years in use now, I may need to replace them soon. I just found that Jensen has stopped production so was considering a good replacement to match the sound. I get option of Duelund JAM paper in oil , Cu foil Capacitors which are at present available at good price ( $45 per pc. ). I like to know if anyone here has used these caps as coupling caps and how is the experience. What change in sound can I expect going from Jensen PIO caps to Duelund JAM PIO caps?
Or does anyone have other recommendations for substitute of Jensen PIO caps?
My amp has a small chassis, hence may be difficult to put large caps.
