I talk to the boss of Kwan's Audio and he also highly recommend these
caps too. Another brand of cap he likes is the Rifa.

He has a couple of these caps in stock and he told me the Jensen cap
has also the silver foil version by Audionote (used in their M7,M10
series) which cost >$1000 each!!!

No way for a piece of Jenson silver copper foil for HK$1,000.- Please
contact Alan before you are being ripped off.

Vincent,

1derful is talking about the silver foil cap as used in Audionote Ogaku
etc. Well, one have to justify charging half a million dollar for a
tube amp!
