Obbligatos are very good but plain good. MR are high range. Silver in Oil is the most I would buy from Mundorf. Those hybrid oilers you keep them away from heat in valve amps btw. Clarity has a TC range of can style HV PP caps I saw, much cheaper than MR. Maybe good for rectification filtering to SSHV2 in #26 preamps they use that reg a lot.
Could be with big caps. We should tap them when connected on the scope alone. Because if we tap them phono connected, maybe other stuff rings on the high gain board too.
In my initial Benz riaa build that used a british hand made pcb, I could hear noises just by tapping the ft3 coupling caps, the decoupling EL caps or the output caps.
Now my p2p builds are much sturdier and I glue the caps to the board so no microphony at all.
I do not think Mundorfs are more microphonic than any other caps.
Tie wraps and some 3M double face tape can do wonders in general.
That is precicely what I use
A good alternative to the supremes might be these Intertechnik cap plus: https://www.intertechnik.de/Shop/Cross-over-parts/Capacitors/Audyn-Cap-Plus/1768,en,280
And if you need a fuller sound, these are quite good https://www.intertechnik.de/Shop/Cross-over-parts/Capacitors/Audyn-Cap-KP-SN/1768,en,277
I use these Tin foil caps in my pedja buffer, producing a magical full sound.

Just changed the Rload and the 47K resistors to Zfoils.
I was not expecting this sound improvement!
Got more clarity and transparency, as well as more information.
Not cheap but I think it was money well spend at the end.
Welcome
What I use is better than FT-3, had FT-3 before.

From what I remember FT-3 was a little bit more mellow sound, but I got more information and better highs from K-72. Maybe more accurate.
Also FT-3 was 100n and K-72 47n.
I got bigger improvement by changing these 2 resistors, something I didn' t expect to be really honest.

Did you measure both resistors (the ones you had before and the ones you have got now) ?
Particularly the 47k... what where the real values and the new ones ?
Yes.... lowering the 47k that much influences sound in the way you describe. (Slightly tighter bass with much more snap) (and an overall increase in output)The real value is 47k. I had 47,1k takman metal film and now 46,93. You think this difference might have an influence? Especially on definition.
Also Rload was 180R shinkoh.
Remenber this is the "bass resistor".
If you rise the value above 47k you get a bump with an apex at 40Hz and will feel more bass and less snap. (and an overall decrease in the output)
if you have measured all your actual riaa parts, I can run a simulation for you.
