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.

I went with these EVO OIl SGO...I attempted to read through and try to understand the dif twix all the caps offered by M, but really could not figure out why the Supremes were *so much superior* to all other offerings. 
The lower priced EVO SGO made my decision.
I am not buying into this *Supreme* thing with M. I think the added *Supreme* is ~~Snake-oil~ pun intended., as it is most likely the truth. Who can tell twixa  Supreme vs * regular* SGO??? 
make A/B testing, honestly , who could tell which set up has the S and which the *ordinary*???
As I say, hopefully Richard is round about his shop and will make the mod.
Will post a YT vid , ASAP
