"Kondo M1000 pre with phono" or "Takumi K-10 pre + Kondo M7 phono?

The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ??
If price is not an issue then i would go with the jupiter copper foil.   That is comparing the Mundorf and Jupitor.  If space permits, i would get the Duelund cast hybrid.   
The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ??
Mundorf are excellent caps.  M-cap supreme, great in midrange, very rounded sound.  The silver has better clarity, more tranparent.  The infini-caps are neutral, kind of forward sounding.  Very analytical sounding caps, nothing really interesting ...
