Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil

Anyone compared the bass response of these two caps?  I bought the Supremes for trial purposes and really loved what they did to my system's imaging (front to back layering) and immediately bought the Silver Gold Oil Supremes.  Unfortunately while they were smoother, more beautiful, and even better at imaging, they had no bass (actually, they lost bass as they broke in).  Anyone know how the Silver Oil's fit into the line?  

I'm using them in a Don Sach's DS2 Preamp ( https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7983).  

Thanks.

Read this very interesting and relevant  thread; great info indeed! And it’s making me wonder....

I currently have the Audyn True Copper Max caps Installed in my Backert Rhumba preamp, and a pair of Jupiter Copper Foils in my Audio Mirror Tubadour III DAC... Would the ODAMs with bypass caps be only a side move, or would there be a significant improvement on either component? No issues with my system as it stands, I love it, but admit I have a problem, I am an Audiophile, and can’t leave system alone.

Thanks Bill @grannyring ; good info to ponder.  I do like the warmth in my system now, and your description resonates with how I view my system as well, so I am guessing that changing to the Odam / CuTF combo may bring only minor incremental changes.  If I didn't already the Jupiters, or the Audyn, I'd definitely try the Odam / CuTF.
