VH Audio Vcaps


First listening session with Vcaps in Cayin phono stage tonight. Within 15 minutes listening to music rather than analyzing sound.

Its not often I'm blown away by equipment and/or mods, this is an exception! I won't even go into detail on improvements in this post, suffice to say these caps are damn good! And I've heard a lot of caps. For all the modders out there, you've got to try these caps, they have a deservedly high reputation.

Sherod, while MR sounds good cold, over 100 hrs soundstage opens & cap becomes supple, relaxed, airy, and natural. I have it in tweeter above 2200 hz. After 100 hours I made other changes to the system and lost track of MR development. I have another pair of MRs coming in for woofer and will track long break-in more closely on this go-round.
Thanks, Dave. My MR caps currently have about 50 hours on them in my preamp outputs. I have previously had Vcap OIMP and Hovland Musicaps in there and so far, the break-in seems to be much gentler with the MR caps than with the others. The Hovlands and Vcaps were like a giant roller coaster ride while the MR caps are like a little kiddie-ride. The extreme frequencies have extended somewhat so far and the mids are finally starting to open up and relax a bit. I'm hoping for a little better relaxing of the MR caps with the next 50 hours on them. We'll see. By the way, I look forward to reading your impressions of the sound of the MR caps on your woofer crossover.
I just had my JADIS JS1 date uopdated with Aura-Cap's and sthealth diodes. Right out of the DAC sound was exceptional. I guess it will continue to improve!
The vh audio caps are very good but the AuraT caps are just a little cleaner sounding and better low level detail
Myself and another DIY freind experimented with amps preamp and speaker Xover as bypass caps . They both take a lot of hours to runin the VH take some 500hrs the AuraT less since they go on a cooker before they go out .I am speaking in absolute terms a few %.
