Yes, you should consider the Mundorf.
The caps are usually the golden mean of everything, to say the least.
They were used in speakers as well as amplifiers.
The article is also a bit older and many things that were not taken into account are the range of application, circuit design and other things.

If you go one page further, you will find the Vcaps.
But there is another article somewhere where the individual caps were more clearly explained.
I can't find it anymore.
Let me take the post with a grain of salt.
Because it's not entirely objective and more aimed at making him worse than he probably is.
The other thing will be I have the Vcap TfTf and Odam in the Euforia and the combo is damn good.
It has removed a lot in the music in the treble, from the musicality, what sounded distorted or too cold.
Apart from that, it has made tubes that didn't work as well out of the box better.
(You can expect the same with the Mundorf Cap).
So this is where the greater advantage will be.
Not the music alone, neither any tonal distortion that is often talked about from the capacitors.
The rest of the setup will also flow into it, things like the source device mainly.
Therefore, expect a somewhat warm yet neutral sound with the Mundorf caps, with clear improvements in many areas.
It will be a bit more refined and clearer,maybe smoother here and there,detail reproduction will be improved.
These will be the advantages of what the industry is using less of.
Feliks did not use this condenser in the Euforia as an example, but the cheapest industrial condenser you can get at Mundorf.
Somewhat understandable on the other hand.
Considering what the Euforia costs, it is not entirely fair to the customer.
That is marketing.
Even the gentleman who installed my Odam in the Euforia said that this was not a good condenser.
The Odam is clearly better.
And this is a gentleman who has been building tube amplifiers in the stereo range for years.
Go into Eric's Mundorf upgrade and then forget everything for now.
Your ears and tubes will thank you.
One thing about the Euforia, I needed damn good tubes to make it sound good with the old Mundorfs.
Now with the Vcaps cheaper ones are enough to say Oh Wow that's good too.
The Svetlana sounded much better, the Mullards6080 even better and clearly superior to the Svetlana.
As 6sn7 sometimes have normal Gtb's in it.and nothing is missing.
You can always upgrade later after Mundorf if you know what you need or are missing.
Everything else would be superfluous for now.
Edit:
Here I have seen the capacitor test.
The report is older, some of it is no longer available.
