I have used Solens for years and I prefer the ASC. .

In Reply to: Re: Evaluation of the change by replacing lytics with 100uF ASC caps for the B+.. . You're missing the boat! posted by Adrian on September 21, 2004 at 21:55:49:

What I hear with the Solen cap is good if bypassed. I suggested them to a manufacture of tube equipment a few years ago, who tries out my suggestions from time to time, and he did not like them. He heard the same thing I do when they are not bypassed and for production he did not want to bypass and go through the extra steps. The speed and dynamics of my system can startle. I find that using the 100uF caps and a 20uF ASC has a synergistic effect. I have many Solens sitting in a box and I know some people really like them but I have found that my own preference has leaned towards the ASC or that type. I listen to a lot of "live" music and with my setup now, I sometimes prefer my system, except for the fun of being around other people, which is not always that much fun.

I have manufactured in the past and I realize what additional cost do but cost no object or just the "improved" model would still seem to be very viable in this market, especially when some people are able to pay the higher cost, desiring the best sound they can get.
