However for the value that I selected (.47uf) the price is obviously prohibitive. I am using them to bypass a 5.0 MIT PPMFX and the two togeth... | |
| Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps I did NOT have the change in sound that I was looking for by adding Jensen Copper bypass caps to my Cary SLP-2002. Now, a year later, got the nerve up and installed MIT RTX Polystyrene Bypass caps. After burn-in, I am quite satisfied with the incr... | |
