Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil

@ cal3713

How much better are the Deulunds tinned over the Miflex in your Sach's pre?

Thanks,

Thanks for your response, very informative and I will probably get those Deulunds Tinned as well. They are considered the best Caps one can buy...

My system is some what revealing but has the ability to convey depth, texture, large sound stage with you are there imaging.

Guys,

Decided to go with V-Caps ODAM; many users says it beats the Deulund Cast head-on and much cheaper. Will give them a week on my cable cooker before adding to component and another week to settle in.

Can't wait to hear the differences Caps can make, word on the street is that it can elevate your component SQ 2-3X :)

Looking forward to your evaluation on those ODAMs; mine should arrive on Saturday and then onto the cooker and should have them installed by next weekend.

Thanks for the tips! I think we have stumbled on some special caps that does about everything right and it's musical...

Wig 😁

That's amazing! Can't even imagine the differences after 100-300 hours of forming; the owner is going to be speechless...

Wig 👍

Guys,

I am totally amazed with the ODAMs in my Tube-Pre with just over 48 hours of use and talk about transparency, vividness, image density and layering is all there in spades. Your speakers will also become more Holographic...

These ODAMs has an uncanny ability to portray realism with a 3 dimensional stage that is large and almost life-like and I am still not in the ODAMs sweet-spot of 100+ hours of use...

If you are considering doing some tweaks and have the ability to carry out these mods, this would be WAY more effective and cheaper than a fuse upgrade; I can not detect a sound signature but you will hear more of the recording as if you were part of a "Live" Event.

Former Caps in DS2 Pre were 0.47 Miflex.

@ grannyring

Will also explore the CuTF bypass, I understand that this combo gives better extension at the top end. After this mod, I would have been in the ballpark in terms of price for the Deulunds but there is no down side to V-Caps and glad it worked out : )

These ODAMs have been a revelation and I'm glad I contacted Chris before spending more money on Deulunds, which gets lots of praise but size and cost is their drawback...

Excellent thread guys, keep it coming.
