V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp


Wondering if anyone has compared these two caps in a preamp? I am considering the Odams for output two in my Don Sachs preamp. What differences can one expect?
TIA

Old thread but Google brought me here so may as well jump in and see if I get any opinions.

Looking to choose a coupling cap for my tube preamp.

Very happy with my system, but one thing I am looking to tweak towards is greater detail and transparency, and a bit more forward sounding. In general, I value texture and separation. My system leans warm and dark (which I love, but it's about final details). I'll note I'm also doing the 0.22 input coupling caps.

I just can't seem to make a final decision, so any thoughts are useful. Already got some good tidbits here.

Options in looking at:

Miflex KPCU-01

Miflex kfpm

Duelund CAST-PIO-Cu/Ag Hybrid

Duelund  CAST-PIO Tinned Copper Foil, WPIO

Audyn True Copper Max

Jupiter  HT Series, Round Case

Mundor s/o/g supreme 

 

Certainly prices are all over the place. For example the duelund are $200 more than the miflex. Not really concerned about price though.

@grannyring appreciate that. I wish the odam were available in canada but I'll probably stick to ordering from parts connexion.The mundorf were where  I was leaning but a tad bit concerned it would be too much - I'm used to looking for warmth and avoiding hyper detail...which is probably why I need some back.i think I'll go for mundorf s/o/g and if I hate them, it's not that huge a commitment.

Welllll, I went with the audyn true copper max. They were calling to me. Damn that's a big cap, barely got it in there.

 

So far they sound absolutely incredible, except vocals are really quite muddy. I've read that's what these sound like as they break in, so I guess I'll have to wait a hundred hours before really knowing. Currently, they are too muddy. But with gorgeous details everywhere else so go figure.
