which Jensen cap to use?


I have a hybrid amp (tube gain stage and bipolar output stage), and plan to replace its coupling caps (DynamiCaps)with Jensen oil caps. I like slightly warm sound but with lots of details.

Which one of these Jensen caps should I use, aluminum, copper foil, or copper foil paper tube?

What are the sonic difference among these Jensen caps? Thanks.

Be forewarned that nearly all paper and oil caps can exhibit electrical leakage (i.e. they don't always block 100% of the DC voltage) which can skew the bias voltage of succeeding stages of amplification.

They can do this out of the box or after a few years of operation.
