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'm in the same boat with Don Sachs II and 2 outputs. One for 100 kOhms (tube amplifier) and one for 20 Kohms (Accuphase). In the first one is a Miflex 0.47 uF and in the second one AudioCap Theta 3 uF bypassed by russian teflon 0.02 uF. Studying an upgrade for the second out but capacitors of 3 uF are very large. Maybe a Mundorf will fit. Interested in your topic. From Brazil.

My technician was able to install inside Don Sachs pré in addition to the Miflex 0.47 uF the Jupiter Copper Foil 2.2 uF for my Accuphase P-6100 which has 20 Kohms input. It is still early to definitive conclusions but the bass is certainly much more evident, fuller and more realistic timbre compared to Miflex, I believe that due to more correct capacitance. A larger capacitor would not be possible. In the future maybe bypass with the V-Cap CuTF or Duelund copper or silver (0.01 uF).
