Thanks a lot, I've forwarded to him your answers, let's see what he says. I have tried Mundorfs in some critical places in the integrated tube amp I'm using now and they are pretty good, expensive, but not at the level of those Auricaps, Hovlands and Cardas caps. They're made in Germany. I'd say they have no sound of their own, nothing like the "highs silkenization" the teflon caps do, or the muddiness some polypropilene add. I've not tried other "in-oil" caps so I don't know what could they do you might dislike. I have suggested him to use the Electrocube and when the amp is working, trying if possible the Mundorf in C3. By now we're at the "price quotation" point, he's finding the materials and we'll see how much the thing takes to be made.

Audio people unfortunately behave very Moronic while they assess and evaluate components for their audio and partially it related to the capacitors. Most of audio people use initially faulty and dead topologic decision and then the try to ornament the dead sound of their components with idiosyncratic sounds of the specific passive elements. Thos freaks would tell you day and night about sound of different pars or the detractively of the conductors or about the thousands other extraneous things. Ironically if those people see an element that in context of a proper application demonstrate neutral sound then those people find it “not impressive enough”, without the understanding that the real impressiveness should not derive form the sound of passive elements. The  Auricaps, Hovlands, Cardas (especially the Hovlands) and many other caps, although they are the famous hi-end brand in reality the are horrible capacitors that are very far form musical or sonic neutrality. My suggestion of the Cube 950 was not accident but my chose among over $2.500 worth bundle of capacitates that I have trued. You may built the milk around whatever you wish but if you ask me then I would suggest the Cube 950.

Yes, if you need the "price quotation" point or the leads to source whatever you might need for the Melquiades then I will be happy to assist.
