Dear Dennis-
Wow! Superbly informative post. Countless thanks.
After reading your post and others, I will go with the Mundorf silver/gold/oil 1uF cap in the Aikido. That is exactly what my tech suggested, as well. (Great minds think alike, apparently.) :-)
What is your take on this combo: 1uF 600V Jupiter HT with a copper foil/teflon .01uF V-Cap by-pass? I already have these two caps together in another speaker's crossover, and they performed very well as a team, complimenting each other nicely. And as they are both voltage rated sufficiently for use in the Aikido, I was going to also try them, as well. But this an Aikido preamp, not a speaker crossover. Maybe they wouldn't work well here.
My tech was pooh-poohing the combo, as he doesn't like Jupiter caps, and believes that any attempt at cap paralleling other than in speaker crossovers usually leads to spectral overlaps and nasty resonances as likely consequences, and feels (like you do) that one of the only caps that is seemingly coherent top to bottom used alone is the Mundorf silver/gold/oil.
Any thoughts on a Jupiter/V-Cap combo as described above?
Many thanks, Dennis.
Cheers,
WS
