F5 power amplifier

I did some listening test on channel that works.
I can say I prefer the Mepco capacitors over the Mallory.
The sound became too smooth (not bad but somehow, something missing) and the dynamics (attack) also became a bit less.
It became a bit too smooth to my taste (!) of course this capacitors are first time in an amplifier (NOS) VS the Mepco I used those over the years for testing. I think I will mix the Mallory with the Mepco, (I have 4PC from both of them) that is my next plan, that way will have two very same PS. Before the PCB I will put the pair Mepco.
Maybe it just need to be break in? I don't know.
One more time not bad but something missing how I heard the amp previously.
Maybe the Zen Mod idea about the Philips poly-carbonate (yellow) caps not always useful?
Ha, ha, ha -, I am kidding Zen.
