Caps sound different. Even power supply caps sound different. Both channels should match really folks. Yes, even the cap shoot outs rate power supply caps as good, better and best. If they are different brands they will likely sound a little different.

If you can't tell, then all is well for you.

Thank you Peter and yes I am blessed. I can also hear the difference
between pieces of wire! Get this, even the footers under the amp! This last
one will really blow you away. I can hear the difference from day one on a
new cap and day 30! So as you might imagine hearing the difference
between cap brands is quite easy for me and can be done with one ear
behind my back:-)

Peter, in my experience with mods I can indeed hear differences in power supply caps. This has been true with caps like Black Gate and some of the newer ones from Mundorf. My wife must also be golden eared and blessed like me for hearing a difference. Power cords of good quality sound quite different indeed.

We agree on the importance of dedicated lines as I also have two 20 amp dedicated lines into my music room. This should be first and aftermarket cords second. I was stunned at the difference power cords make as I tried various ones in my system. Each of them highly regarded, but changing the overall sound in some cases. I have settled on heavy gauge, solid core copper on all my wire. Multiple runs of heavy gauge! solid core is very stiff and a pain to deal with, but sounds right to me.

Well, I have changed out out power supply caps in a past Sunfire Signature SS amp and had them upgraded in an old Hafler amp and both realized nice improvements. You have much more knowledge on technical matters then I do, so what you say may be true in many cases.
