Jupiter Copper caps

[BobM]

My Jupiters have opened up nicely. Plenty of air, nice texture, good dynamics, balanced top to bottom, extended without glare or forwardness, great image/soundstaging, a "real" palpability to instruments. Just hugely musical.

Took about 70 hours of break in, which is definitely on the light side for premium caps. We will see if there is more to come as time goes by.

Agreed, BobM... good description.

The realness and palpability is a goal for my system and cables, and as far as caps I find copper foil caps are the best, they have a musical, realistic sound to them.

I've been thinking about what does this and I think it's better "micro-detail" for lack of a better word... not something that jumps out at you necessarily, but it makes you feel the system took a step toward sounding more like the real thing.

[BobM]

Yeah, I had Russian teflons in several of these places before. Tons of detail but some aberrant hardness at times. It was impressive sounding, but in a somewhat clinical way. Details did jump out at you.

Now the details are all still there but they have become more of a "whole" with none of that residual hardness.

Thanks for the update, Bob. I changed my coupling caps in the Franks with the Jupiter copper caps. I only have about 20 hours on them, but lost some air on top. Good to know they need more time, otherwise I'm very happy with the change.
