Let me pull out my super duper tester, scanner, flux capacitor to show you it on a scope that there is no difference in sound. Don't blame it on my ears not being able to tell the difference either. I will stick to the orignal caps since they came with the amp and clearly the amp designer wouldn't use inferior parts. Blah, blah, blah.

Hee hee...
They all sound different to me. I can hear the differences between Mustards/Sozos/Mallory 150's/Orange Drops and now these IC MPW. Anyone can't, didn't try them back to back. Oh yeah the difference isn't subtle either.
I believe it. I have some caps that sound super smooth and some that sound raspy.
My first post was meant to make fun of the non-believers of the tube shield thread

EDIT: just dont ever use electrolytics outside of power filtering! They are useless to the point that they do nothing but damage the tone.
