Thanks paulcreed and jond, for your valuable suggestion regarding checking of life of my currently installed coupling caps. I intend to check for any leakage and measure the value on capacitance meter before going to change them.
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.
Your views, comments , suggestions are welcome.
