Duelund cast Pio Hybrid Copper/Silver or Rs series with Silver Bypass PIO

My massive crossovers with tinned copper CAST caps are now breaking in! Has anyone experienced the background noise floor change during the first 1000 hours?

For speaker crossovers, where does the original Western Electric 8 uf, 500VDC oil filled caps fit in with regards to the sound when used on an Altec crossover compared to these newer offerings? I have several of these sitting on a shelf, they are just so darn big and heavy in those steel cans. Sure look cool with that WE logo on them though.

Wow, I figured if any forum had folks that might have used some vintage WE capacitors, this would have been it. I'm curious as to how they compare to the high dollar caps.
