My understanding was that C-J's Teflon caps were made by Dan Babineau, founder of Running Springs...

Bear in mind that I firmly believe that a tube's performance is highly dependent on the circuit topology it is going into, and my views are based on KT-120s in an LP70S.

Unless my memory is failing, Lew told me Vcap make them to cj specs when I was debating whether to do my prem 8a.

Myles & Steve,
I'll have to respectfully request that we agree to disagree. At least until I try them again now that the 140 has been modified. |

rlw3,
I have to agree with the previous posters. The CJD Teflon cap modification has resulted in my Pr 140 sounding clearer, dynamic, more neutral and for lack of a better way of putting it, more dramatic. I also haven't found it to be particularly painful. It sounded better straight out of the box and while some days are better than others, there's always been a significant improvement over how it sounded previously. I'm now at the 400 hour mark and if anything, it's never sounded this good. |

Vcap does produce caps for a few other manufacturers.

I don't think Lew is disclosing this information.

Depends on which 6550. Compared to the =C= 6550C which CJ used previously the KT120 has better bass, a larger soundstage and is more extended at the extremes. The difference is not night and day but clearly noticeable.

Good things are worth waiting for. I keep wondering though if it sounds like this now...
