Jupiter Copper Foil, Paper & Wax Cap Versus Jensen Cap 0.10uF 630Vdc Copper Foil Ceramic


Greetings,
Your advice and comments would be most helpful and appreciated.
I will need to change my current capacitors in my tube power amp as one of my current Jensen 0.1uF 630V Copper Foil, PIO, Aluminium is now a problem - caused a EL34 tube heater to glow red. I will need four new capacitors.

I am considering two possible replacements:

1. 0.1uF 600Vdc Jupiter Copper Foil, Paper & Wax Capacitor   
2. Jensen Capacitor 0.1uF 630Vdc Copper Foil Ceramic Case 

Any comments on how these compare in their sound characteristics?
I would like a cap that offers balance across all frequencies, control, richness, enticing tone, and transparency. Also ease of flow of the music.    
Thanks so much, Bob

Thank you both for your comments and advice. That's a very interesting comment re: bypassing with a Duelund -01 bypass cap.
Thank you, Bob 
Granny ring I agree ,I use the Duelunds as my main best seller in my Loudspeaker Clarifiers a bit pricy $100 each but ,give them a solid 200 hours and they truly do open up the soundstage and micro-details

Yes, I definately would like tom add the chararcteristics of the Duelunds a the Jensen are 'dark' and I am missing the higher and extended frequencies that i enjoy. 
The bypass caps are still $100 each and I am wondering whether to just go the whole hog and purchase the Duelund Capacitor 0.1uF 630Vdc CAST-PIO-Cu (Sn).

How close would the Jensen plus Duelund combination come to sounding as good as the Duelund Capacitor 0.1uF 630Vdc CAST-PIO-Cu (Sn)? I think this is where my final decision lies.

Thx, Bob


The added $100s extra for a .01 cast is not worth it the value is 
so small , thst is why the Duelund .01 ur Bypass cap is used 
if you wanted a Big difference then justget the wallet out 
what size is the tweeter capacitor 2-3uf  ? If so over $ 1k for 2 cast caps . The Duelund Bypass caps I hav3 in my speaker well worth the extra $$, and for the record just look st my feedback 
on the Duelund Zobel  Clarifiers I Make ,they work cleaning up all high frequency noise and work with Any Speaker, a simple 
but very effective upgrade. Unless you have tried these you can’t 
make a educated statement .To a true Audiophile even a few % is well worth a small purchase.

Again, keep in mind that if used as a coupling cap, the bias on the power tubes may be affected if either cap develops an electrical leakage. The result could be shortened power tube life, but it could also result in a damaged power transformer.
