second question, Jon L...compared to the mundorf silver in oil does the silver/gold
lean one way or the other, or are they both relatively "neutral" in respect to
the audible spectrum? i've read somewhere that users of the silver/gold
experienced slightly better HF retrieval at the cost of the lower freqs...but
i should add that the other comparison was done on speakers. am interested
to know if you share this conclusion.
I added some more system info in the first post:
"Mostly I am comparing these in coupling capacitor duty in a couple of amps, Almarro A205a MkII and Bottlehead Paramour I. Both amps are used to drive my headphones and speakers, mainly Headphile modded Sennheiser HE60 electrostats (via SRD7 MkII), AKG K1000, and my custom speakers (picture link here http://www.audiocircle.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=349&pos=2)."
Again, I haven't done detailed comparison of Silver/Gold vs. Silver Mundorfs, but I can tell you Silver/Gold has *VERY* authoritative bass quality and quantity!
All the caps I report to admire are *close enough* neutral with none that can be proven to be absolutely neutral b/c of system/personal preferences and expectations if you know what I mean.
I still have other caps I need to try, namely Sonicap Platinum caps and Relcap polystyrenes. But first let me enjoy some music for awhile
