I dont know how much the sound will "improve", but I recently had the caps in my cd player changed. Just seeing the size of the replacement and what was replaced gives me a (false?) sense of security ;D
Old: New: pin head size tootsie roll candy sized thimble sized tequila shot glass size

capacitors do have their own sonic traits. in sonic impact t-amp's case, cap change via stealth mode modification has improved the t-amps performance. i used eleshop's red polypropylene caps branded as audiophiler mkp. capacitors in the signal path of diy preamps also seems ok, ive tried auricap mundorf mkp and clarity sa (samples)

mundorf supreme never fails to exhibit liquidity in sound in general. the details are exceptional. HIs silky smooth, mids so pronounced and warm and lo is tight and clean. in general, mataba tumunog. The depth is something to crow about... ang layo ng kumakanta together with the band playing in the source. Speed is a bit slower if compared with Auricap that was used before in my gears. Used the supremes in my asl monoblocks and jd labs preamp.
The supremes are my best buy for the year.... together with the Valvo ECC82.

i think i have to disagree on the speed part, my cdp doesn't sound slower than when it was using auricaps...

Maganda kaya yun Silver/Gold? May nakasubok na ba sa inyo nun?

lucky you vince...in my monoblocks, me bagal sya and very obvious. you know naman that i listen to rock and fast jazz kaya labas agad difference. maybe there is a difference in application.
jo, i read in one thread, napakaliit lang daw ng difference ng silver/oil and silver/gold in terms of sound. pero like i said, depende din sa application eh. 1 particular model of caps may exhibit different result in another. mabilis daw yung gold. ang pinakamaganda nyan eh buhayin ang Tube Session !!! at magdala ng gears na naka-gold na at naka-silver...AB natin.

ganun ba, so hindi siya worth? alam ko there is only one way to find out and that is to try it.
almost 8K yun dalawa 2.2uf na silver/gold ah? ano Joel, subukan ko ba sa preamp ko?

maghunos-dili ka jo! P8k yun dalawa! isilver/oil mo na muna! punta ka minsan kina jet... nakasilver/oil 2a3 nya. pakinggan mo. yung silver/oil ng mundorf pa lang ang narinig ko na hindi mabagal. liquid and lush sounding. you know what, im happy with the supreme-riken combi in my preamp.
pero jo, pakinggan mo muna yung 2.2uf ng mundorf kasi dati nung bibili ako ng 1uf for my preamp, walang stock then so i settled for .47uf, ang laki tumunog. parang 1uf ng auricap na kung tumunog. buti na lang at out of stock yung 1uf that day, or else puro boom ang lumabas sa speakers ko! si jetok yata naka 2.2uf sa preamp. si lester/symon/jason naka-3.3uf na supreme sa foreplay. in other words, mag-session tayo! isalang natin mga preamps nila and find out. ;D
2.2uf sa 6sn7 mo pa gagamitin? grabe ka-laki tumunog nun. baka nakakatakot na boses ni kenny rankin dun! baka mala-barry white na ang timbre!
go go go jo!

eh di tamang tama... meron kayo silver/oil tapos silver/gold naman ang gagamitin ko para ma compare. meron na ako nun ibang mga mentioned caps kaya sumubok naman tayo nun pinaka mataas ng mundorf, kaya mag silver/gold naman ako para masubukan. may less 15% daw ngayon so may sukli pa yun 8K. ;D
sa 6SN7 ko gagamitin, hindi naman ako masyado worried sa speed kasi naka ccs top and bottom yun gagawin ko so adjustable siya. hehehe
mga 1 month na walang softdrinks at meryenda and pickup sa gabi para makaipon. ;D ;D ;D
Silver/Gold!!!

hmmm...ccs. let's talk about that off-line and do business again. hala, ikaw pala ang dapat maghunos-dili! ;D tsaka na, di mo pa nga nadidinig eh. kailangan makakuha na at maikabit ko na yun silver/gold para may kaunting break-in bago mag session.

sulit nga Joel, sinubukan ko ng ibang caps at meron talagang difference, and ang laki ng pagbabago. mura lang naman yan gold, may sukli ka pa sa 8K! ;D
mas malinis pa siya ngayon tignan kasi naiayos ko na ang paglatag ng wiring... walang kwenta ang power supply section nito... nakakainis - naka EPCOS low esr lang na caps. ;D
Happy New Year PinoyAudio!
