FYB2, to confuse matters further - I still have Jensen Oiler caps in my SLP-98 and the Mundorf EVO Silver Gold coupling caps in my prior and current amps. One type of each in both, split 50/50. I like the blend of the two across the system for my setup. And, a buddy put the Mundorfs in his 98 too (preamp and amp), and he likes that combo yet he has milky midrange Harbeth speakers, so I guess it balances out for him in a different way.
Also, fwiw, I had to try a few different 6SN7s in the 98, removing the EH, and once I went to vintage/NOS (RCA or Sylvania or TJ/Sophia, or maybe try PSVANE) and some other boutique tubes, thats when my 98 came alive. Tone and texture showed up w/musicality. The right caps and 6SN7s in the 98 really help make it a gem.
