In Reply to: RE: Elna Silmic II caps?... posted by aknaydenov on June 10, 2016 at 04:10:33:
I too hate Silmic II caps. I have tried them in both solid state and tube applications (cathode bypass caps), and each time they sounded very colored and unmusical even after hundreds of hours of use. In each of the spots where I tried the Silmics, I replaced them with NOS BlackGate FK series caps and the differences were not subtle at all. The BG caps have the life, dynamics and full frequency extension missing from the Silmics.
Of course, the BGs are no longer available, but if I were in your shoes I would try one of the new Audio Note Kaisei caps. I recently used a higher-voltage Kaisei (50uf, 500v) in one of my tube projects and it is the only cap I have tried that is in the same league as a BG WKZ. I don't know if the low-voltage models are equally good, but I would certainly give them a try, I ordered mine from Hifi Collective in the UK. As far as I know, they are not yet available in the US.
