Hi Dtanclim,
I have a dealer friend that let me borrow an AR6 with the regular caps while I waited for the new unit with the teflon caps. Audience made him break it in for 500 hours before he was allowed to deliver it to me. What I noticed is that the teflon caps improve the resolution or clarity more than the regular unit. I will try to quantify what I mean by stating it this way. If the regular AR6 "moves the bar" by a factor of 10, then the AR6 with the teflon caps moves "the bar" another 30%.
The regular unit is fabulous and should easily satisfy most audiophiles. But, if you are a rabid audiophile like myself then once hearing the teflon unit I can't go back to the regular AR6. I hope this helps.
