I whole heartedly agree. The Teflon caps surpass anything else I tried and I have tried many different caps in my DIY tube amps including some very costly caps. Two weeks is not enough break in time to get the best out of them although they will be close by two weeks. To get the best Teflon sound a 600-800 hour break in is needed. With tube amps that can take several month. With SS amps that can be left on 24 hours a day playing music that will take about a month of continuous music playing.
