I forgot to add that IMO part of the issue with bypass caps has to do with the size of the coupling cap you are bypassing. Generally speaking I've not liked what larger coupling caps do as they impose more coloration. But in some cases they have to be used- such as at the output of many tube preamps and also driving output tubes in a power amp. For this reason I've avoided coupling caps in these specific areas (instead I employ direct-coupling) as this allows me to use much smaller values overall. I can easily see resorting to bypass caps in the case of larger caps- 1uf and above in particular.
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.
