So, what do you think of the Jensen paper in oil coupling caps?

Well I think they are pretty great and made a pretty big difference.  One thing I notice on this amp is the amount of tonal adjustment and clarity compared to a standard AB763 with say Malloy 150s.  Way more of everything comes through loud and clear.  Of course this is single channel and a stripped out trem but I'm not sure those changes would do what I describe here.  What ever it is its pretty great.  She is very quiet too which is always a blessing.  Those dang Jensens are big bucks but I had to know.  Its like riding a Harley, once you do it you have to have one HA!

Cheers

I'm glad I tried them as I found out first hand the difference.  Not saying that will be the norm from now on but I will certainly use Jensens on special projects.
