So I tried one of the nos caps I got on the output. A Cornell dubilier 1uf 200v. I believe it is paper in wax but I could be wrong. Vloss and esr is really low.
Very different sound than the claritycaps I had there before. Less direct with softer/rounder highs and a general sense of roundness. It feels darker, more relaxed and “3D”...more natural and real but pleasant at the same time...This sense of “realness” might be, although contradictory, due to less detail and maybe more harmonic distortion that gives the impression of distance and space.
I’ll probably have to break it in a lot more so we will see...
Next will be a sprague metalized paper.
