I'm looking into upgrading the capacitors in my HagTech Cornet Octal phono stage to try and achieve better musicality and transparency. Here's a list of capacitor suggestions I found:
C6 - Mundorf Silver/Oil bypassed with .1 uF Russian Teflon FT-3 (Sig)
C1/C3 - Sonicap Gen 1 (EQ)
C5 - Sonicap Platinum (Sig)
C7 - Sonicap Gen 1 (EQ)
C8 - Sonicap Gen 1 (EQ)
SC Gen 1's should work well enough in the EQ circuit, but I've read very good things about the VCap TFTF series and would like to use them in the front of the preamp instead of the SC platinums. Will the VCaps and Mundorfs have good synergy or should I look for an output cap with less 'color'?
