Oil caps-any advise on sonics?


This question is geared for those who have tweaked their gear in the past. I have a AE-3 pre that came with Audio1 oil caps. I would like to install a pair of Jensen paper in oil caps to replace the Kimbers currently installed. My question is two fold. First will replacing different oil caps other than the Audio1 make any sense and second what's the scoop on the Audio note oil caps. I have seen a ad for some with the same values I need to replace the Kimbers but they look HUGE. I don't know if I'll have enough room. Any input will help. Thanks

Hey I would reccomend calling "Kirk" ay AES....he has been very helpful with tweeking mY AE3. I put in the oil caps and hex fred fast recovery diodes. Im not sure how the latest models are built but he actually recommended replacing the .22 caps that link the tubes with a just a jumper cable. THis will actually make an improvement. This is how the DJH preamp is made (with two less caps). I love this little preamp and would love to hear others experiances with it. I actually just bought the super amp signature yesterday to replace a quite new Mcintosh SS amp. I think Im falling in love again........
