New V-CAP CuTF capacitor

V-CAP has just released a new capacitor - CuTF - copper foil/teflon that they feel is the cat's meow. Apparently a lot of R&D went into it, per their website. It is more expensive than the TFTF but appears to promise the "soul of music" inherent in copper. I've been quite happy with the TFTF (tinfoil/teflon) caps I put in my BAT VK150SE amps but have decided to take the plunge with this new cap. Will post results in the near future.

This is not the first time I've heard the CuTF compared to the Mundorf S/G/O. While the Mundorf is obviously a nice sounding (not to mention detailed, etc.) cap, I find the sonic signature quite laid back (almost recessed) and lacking body in the mids. I find the TFTF to be more neutral (notice I didn't say "natural") in the mids. How do the highs compare between the two caps? In some situations I find the TFTF slightly rolled off (subdued)in the extreme treble. Certainly compared to the Mundorf S/G/O.

Comments? More observations?
