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..

Or go with no caps in the signal path like my preamp!  I have tired a few of the copper caps, V-Cap which I like very much and just recently got my hands of Dueland copper but just installed them so no opinion yet.  I know people here who really liked the Jup coppers but I have not gotten around to those either.  I did not like the bees wax version of the Jups at all.  But as caps go, so do resistors Vishay, AN, Shinkoh, Caddock,etc.  they all have a sound so you have to see what you like.  My preamp has a switch so you can choose the resistor you like for your system or maybe more importantly for the CD you are playing.  I have used Clarity caps which IMO are a great value for the money and I am trying to get to hear the copper clarity caps hopefully soon.

Happy Listening.
I will actually be rolling three different pairs of Mundorf caps and comparing their performance in a DAC with the stock caps. They arrive next week. It should prove very interesting!
I rolled in my first set of new capacitors, the Mundorf MCap Supreme SilverGold ( http://www.mundorf.com/en/?category=hifi&menu=caps_audio&content=mcap_supreme_silvergold ) and have been enjoying the added detail and nuance they bring to my Lampizator Lite 7 DAC. It's definitely a step up from the previous Jupiter AM caps.  I will likely continue using this in my system for some months until my designer friend returns from Poland (he soldered in this pair) and likely try out the MCap Supreme EVO SilverGold ( see http://www.mundorf.com/en/?category=hifi&menu=caps_audio&content=mcap_supreme_evo_silvergold ).  That will prove interesting!
Guess I lied.  I actually ended up swapping out the Mundorf MCap Supreme SilverGold capacitors for the MCap Supreme EVO SilverGold caps yesterday after arriving home from work.  I unplugged and opened up the DAC, ran errands for about an hour or so, then set about carefully removing the former for the latter with careful soldering.  

As with the Supreme SilverGold, the Supreme EVO SilverGold sounded a touch harsh as it began the breaking-in process.  However, after several hours, they began opening up.  I look forward to observing how they sound in the coming months!
