Capacitor rolling.

My son is getting to the Audio World.  Bought a Vincent Hybrid Pre-Amp and Vincent Hybrid Amp.

Both us MKP Film caps on each signal line-out paths. He wants a little more warm from the/voice- strings

Audio Note offers  some of their Caps for those Cap rollers. In Silver/Gold./ Cooper &Alum foil.

Very pricey compared to MKP caps. 7 times+

By the way MKP is widely used by many high-end electronic audio gear Mfg because of their very-very neutral sound & fast transits. Has anyone in this forum  have any feed back on CAP rolling? And Audio Note Caps??

Trust Me signal path Cap rolling can produce more changes than Tube rolling does in some cases..

Dear @tubes444: Perhaps you are talking of Wima caps that are the standard in the industry. Very trusty caps.

When caps are inthe audio signal changes on different brans caps always makes a difference. Not always for the better but only different.

Best cap is a NEUTRAL one with no detectable signature. Warmer or less warmer adjectives or other kind of adjectives only tell us the cap colorations/distortions and at least me: don't want colorations.

Teflon V-caps are really near to neutral.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC not DISTORTIONS,

Dear @tubes444 :  I never tested the cooper Jupiter in my system so I can't be sure how good are but reading through different people/reviews i found out these kind of statements that makes me think are not really neutral but " colored ":


"" Jupiter copper also possesses great low-midrange richness and color that far "  

 " high degree of resolution, musicality, color "

" with "more" richness and musicality "


musicality, color richness are terms used by audiophiles for home audio system performance levels but almost never we can hear those terms when we are talking of live MUSIC at near-field.

Btw, teflon V-caps comes too in a cooper version. Other caps I have experiences with are the Sonicaps platinum and are way neutral.
