I have a humble c-j Classic 2SE with the teflon caps.... it is such a great sounding pre. It was a $500 premium over the base Classic but well worth it. I auditioned it against a base ET3 in what had to be a $50k system and liked the Classic 2SE better.
If you really like it, why not do the caps ? It's a great preamp that is worth the upgrade. Outfit it with the best new production tubes , or NOS if you have a reliable source like Brent Jessee or Jim McShane and have the $$$ . The teflon upgrade isn't cheap , but it's a fraction of a new preamp.
