In the Thread: What is the buzz: the V-Caps?
Post Subject: V Caps in this applicationPosted by drdna on: 8/8/2007
As always I tend to play around, experimenting with components in my equipment a little bit.  I strongly believe not enough emphasis is placed on topology and the physical layout of the circuit, as sometimes people forget that a circuit is a physical collection of dynamically interacting electromagnetic fields, not to begin to think about the quantum wave mechanics involved in delivery of electrons here. 

However, I will say in this application I find the V-Cap is very pretty, but I reject it for the same reason I reject many expensive components, as they do not share my objectives.  The low level resolution is exquisite but this is at the expense of audio neutrality.  Some aspect of musicality is excluded to provide the fien resolution and we end up with very detailed sounds but somehow the music is lost.  In this application I use the Jensen copper oil capacitor which I enjoy for its transmission of the musical neutrality, which I mean to say it delivers the soul of the musical event more accurately, even though I cannot hear every last detail.
