Just wondering what coupling and tone caps you folks have been using. For myself, it's been Alessandro PIO and Sprague Vitamin Q caps. Have any of you tried Jupiter caps? Art

Art,

I've used Jupiter Beeswax, esp in the input position with good results. Tone is pure vintage. And Input stages usually don't carry the the high voltage that can lead to issues with PIO-style caps. For clarity, I've had luck with the hard-to-find, hand-made Dynamicap/Infini-caps. These really sound great in guitar networks.

The Russian mil spec K40Y-9 are good caps, too. The Russian mil spec teflon caps seem to be the best in areas of heat. These have very clean, clear unshaded tone.

Thanks, Beemer!!! So far my guys have worked out for the best. But the Jupiters seem to be pretty cool. Seems I've heard about the Dyamicap/infini caps. Art
