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?

Transl--which caps did you install? It reads that you installed Audio 1 caps in place of Jensens.

And...you installed caps that are 'bright' and hope to use new tubes and interconnect cables as tone controls? If those caps are too bright after a week or 3, get 'em out of there!!!!!!!!!

Henry, if Michael Percy sells it, that's where I buy it. http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf

Herman, I agree about the ASC 'propylenes in powersupplies. I've replaced the 2nd-pole caps in my ASL 805 DTs with 2 40uFs in parallel (instead of 2 270uF 'lytics in series); the amp sounds audibly cleaner...less gritty. Percy sells them in 20uF and 40uf. If one can get by with 600V. caps, I use Solen 630s (usually the 47uFs), bypassed with '1.22'uF NorthCreek Harmonys. http://www.northcreekmusic.com/Zen.html

Transl, do you have a schematic diagram of that Carey you could e-mail to me, pls?
