From what I've seen in the DIY forum, the people who have taken the time to measure some of these capacitors have found most of them to be of high quality, so it should be an interesting test.

call me whatever, but the black gates I've used took some time to settle in. And noticeably so. So have other caps, to some degree.. and not mere seconds. Otherwise, nice collection! Start building amps around them already!
Blah, DC coupled design rulez! Best cap is no cap, best trafo = no trafo. No cap or no trafo = no bass roll-off, no additional distortions and the like.

True but DC coupling has its own limitations and a transformer coupled circuit sounds great when there is a quality transformer used.

Thanks, Jude - for Head-Fi's contribution!!
It is very true that the only thing a good cap does is to mangle the sound a bit less then the other, lesser caps.
