Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps

Anyone compared 0.22 mf Kimber coupling caps in Cary amps? I have purchased Jensen copperfoil/oil caps, opened my Cary SLI-50 integrated and saw yellow Kimber metallized polypropylene capacitors. Are they any good and will the Jensens be an upgrade?

The Jensen oil-caps are superb, and I like them better than most other caps. However, you should seriously consider adding bypass caps - the Chris VenHaus V-cap Teflon caps. This will really open-up the soundfield and extend it.

reb1208 - I have used RTX's for years. The V-Caps are better. They are the only bypass cap that I have found that is totally transparent and blends perfectly with the bypassed caps.
