More specific recommendations will be possible if more information is provided: 1) Which are the stock caps you are replacing? |
2) What specific aspects of sound do you NOT like about your current system with the stock caps. |
3) What specific areas would you like to change in what direction? |

Any ideas about bypassing? |

Mundorfs are kind of pricey, and these AmpOhm tin foil PIO caps are cheaper and at least as good so far, though much larger than Mundorf (see pic). Thetubestore is the distributor, but they are often out of stock. |
