Help choosing coupling caps

I have an Audioprism Mantissa tubed linestage and have upgraded the caps to teflons (Chris V V caps) amazing sound and very revealing

I'm now thinking of changing the caps on my dodds. i'm looking at v caps once again however the cost and revealing nature of these caps may become "too much of a good thing" and perhaps I should look at a similar quality cap that errs a bit on the neutral/warm side of things

Anyone have experience using different caps in conjunction with Chris Teflons
i'm in process of gathering information at this time any relevant input is very much appreciated

Pat, check out my listening impressions of the Duelund VSF over at my virtual system. Over the top review, the Duelunds are the real deal!

I will definitely check them out do you have a link where you got yours. Also do they carry 0.22 values

partsconnexion.com They have a 15% off sale through November. Don't carry .22uf, perhaps you can order custom values? Ask Chris, owner and former Sonic Frontiers head.

A few other posters are correct. A couple of Teflon caps are nice, since the provide better resolution. Too many though, and your midrange gets sucked out, with nothing but a super detailed upper end. I have tried them on all bypass caps, and they were not to my liking. Too cool and steril sounding even on Tubes.

Thanks to all those that have posted
I will more then likely replace my amps stock coupling caps with Mundorf Silver and Oil.
I've heard these are very sweet sounding and seem to have what I need and should be a good match with teflons.
