    caps for signal path in tube amps

    I prefer Jantzen Copper Z (especially given the relatively affordable price), and if you want to get fancier, check out V-Caps from VH Audio. The Jantzen caps have copper leads, which I consider mandatory for DIY hi-fi. Someone mentioned Obbligato, and I've heard those are among the better...

    As something of an aside regarding the Hantaï/Bach CD, Hantaï apparently recorded Bach's Goldberg Variations on harpsichord on two separate occasions, and the other recording is reportedly a somewhat different interpretation from the one I just posted here.
