Hi.There has been heavy bias towards using motor-run can-type oil caps
over 'lytic caps in tube DIYers. In fact, I upgraded my tube power amp with its orginal stock 'lytic caps replaced by oil caps in its
power supply.That said, some very good sounding brandname power amps still use
large 'lytic caps, such as the very expensive OTL-OCL power amps I posted above.Not everybody in the "rest of the world" got discerned ears like most of us here. IPots surely sell more than anything else every invented in the audio elctronics markets.
But so what, their sales success bear no relevancy to hi-resolution
audio we're talking here. So your sweeping statement is too far stretched.
