RC couplers for SET amp

aragon16863, hi. My experience with the Mundorf silver/gold for RC coupling (like in your amp) was not good. In a speaker dividing network I think the Mundorf are good. As couplers I couldn't stand the sound for more then ten minutes. Perhaps I should have left them in to cook some more but frankly I couldn't take it. If you can - I would suggest trying the RU K40-Y. These caps are just outright amazing. They beat just about everything I've tried hands down. They are transparent and non smeary - almost like having no cap at all. Also consider Rel-Cap TFT Teflon film & tin foil or even Rel-Cap polypropylene & copper foil. The Rel Multi-Cap is no slouch but the Teflon is better. You might consider a copper foil & oil type like Jensen. I think there are several makers of this type. The TRT Dynamicap (following Wonder Caps) is like many other dry film metalized polypropylene types. I would go K-40Y or something with dry film and foil rather than metalized. Get the highest voltage rating you can afford. Higher voltage versions have more area of material at the same uF but sound better. Anyway, some food for thought. Happy Listening.
