My parts selection

My best-of selection:

Coupling caps: Mundorf Silver/Oil
Polypropyene caps: WIMA MKP
Low-noise (digital) caps: BG NX
HV PSU caps: EPCOS 435xxx series (did not try others)
Resistors: Vishay VTA52/55 (of course, tantalums are not bad)


Riken Ohm : Good balanced sound; improvement on cheap metal films.

Tantalum (AN and Shinkoh) : A little more detail than Riken, nice midrange, but upper midrange and treble can be a bit harsh.

Vishay VTA52 / VTA55 : Amazing. By far the best. More detail, smoother sound, very lifelike.
