I went from ( Thor Audio TA1000 Linestage ) Mundorf Oil Silver ( nice but kinda smeared sounding ) to Vh Audio TfTF ( Teflon ) and they were wonderfull ,but just a tad too bright for me taste..I then went to VH Audio CuTF ( mostly Copper ) and fell in love..Sweet with tremendous organics without sacrifing detail.Wonerfull open and airy sound...Incredible sounding Caps...They need a least 100 hours before they are enjoyable,but once I hit the 100 hour mark things just kept getting better and better and better..........
Favorite Caps ST-70 Rebuild
For ST-70 owners who have the VTA board:
So many caps out there to choose from, what's your favorite brand (0.22uf & 0.1uf) and why?
Vitamin Q, K40, K71, K75....
I already purchased Vit Q's but am having second thoughts after listening to a different value (2.0uf) of them at the output of my preamp. Nothing like their reputation of being dull and dark. If anything they were too bright and lacked a bottom end. They sounded nasal and didn't change after breaking in. Hopkins PIO's were great from the get go and are getting better.
