My only guess is he had a bad pair, or he melted them a bit and they were leaky. He's the only person I've heard of who had such a strong reaction to the Jupiters. Most people seem to say they sound great, but they melt so easily that they are a real pain to use. My experience is that they are so much better than Auricaps, etc. that something had to have gone wrong with his.
Whoa! That's an understatement. This guy: http://www.vhaudio.com/21capacitorshootout.pdf
wished Jupiters had never been made. With a few exceptions, the caps he finally recommends as best are in the $hundreds of dollars.
I hate reviews like that.
They always end up with one product that they claim the end all be all, greatest thing ever made that will take you into some new magical wonderland. And everything else is useless.
One guy's ears, in one system, with one set of each test caps, without blind tests.
Sure sounds like a solid review to me!

He is definitely a member of the more money than brains club.

thanks that was a good laugh.. so much meaningless crap. His level of self dilusion is so monumental. His use of meaningless statistics and figures astounding. His Lack of meaningfull testing saddening. I think this travasty is best summed up in his own words:
"The experience is equivalent to religious transformation in the Kingdom of High-fidelity!"
Yes to belive anything he says would require close to religious belief.

Has anyone ordered from Percy Audio lately? I've emailed this guy three times over a couple of weeks and I will haven't gotten a single response? As far as I know there is no order form, do I email him some kind of spreadsheet with everything?
I also got deterred by Percy because of no response over several weeks - no clue why there was no response.

Handmade has always been my source for Nichicon Muses. Although BDent carries the one, single solitary 470uF 35V ES - which happens to be perfect for a Millett C7.
That diyrealaudio link freaked me out when I saw $35 for the same cap - but then I looked up "NT$" and saw that 32-33 NT$ ~ $1 US.
