None of the above but you need a minimum of 300 hrs on the amps to make a judgement.

Teflon caps are generally the opposite.
Check out Vcap CuTF caps.

I might be wrong (sure Lew will correct me otherwise) but I think that VCap makes cj's Teflon caps. Not a cheap date.

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

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

I don't think Lew is disclosing this information.

It will definitely improve the amps considerably. More detail, more transparency, larger stage and better focus. It will not bring the Pr12 to the level of current cj offerings. In their current amps they use better resistors and better power supply design as well.
With that said a Pr12 with Teflon caps and KT120 output tubes will sound exquisite. |
