Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps

Where did you pick up your MIT's?

reb1208 - I have used RTX's for years. The V-Caps are better. They are the only bypass cap that I have found that is totally transparent and blends perfectly with the bypassed caps.

Bio- I purchased the MIT RTX from Michael Percy.

Audioengr- I have no doubt the teflon caps are superior. However for the value that I selected (.47uf) the price is obviously prohibitive. I am using them to bypass a 5.0 MIT PPMFX and the two together blend incredibly well. Sure I could use a smaller value V-Cap and save on the cost. But I don't care for the sound of very small bypass caps on a much larger cap. Can't imagine that the V-Cap would be any different. Surely it will be too fast for the larger cap.
I'll stick with the .47 RTX.

Some time ago I installed 0.22 uf V-caps in my Cary SLI-80 integrated. My first impression was, as compared to jensens copper-oil caps, that the V-caps didn't have such air and sounded mechanical. Yes, they removed some midrange veil but were still warm at the same time. After approx. 100 hours, things improved dramatically, but a somewhat dark character remains.

This is one of those questions where there is no right answer. Since coup. caps are a must in tube products, using them is something like a tone control. The only way to know for sure is to try them, let them break in, and see if u like them. If you dont try something else. I find the Kimbers perform well especially when price is a consideration. G.
