Nice. The Kimbers were from Ray out of Salt Lake, were reportedly subs for Jensens at some point by Cary. Definitely worth trying caps as-is and rolling different 6SN7s. As I recall, the Kimber caps were a little more transparent than Jensen oilers. The George Cardas caps out of Bandon OR were made for a number of years and discontinued by Cardas Co. I still have a new full set of those brand new I pulled from my former SLI-80 amp. Saving those for a project or part with 'em later if I don't.

From an old post, fwiw, clip/quote: "Cary Audio (also Audio Electronic Supply) used Kimber Kaps in their tube amps.When they offer an upgrade they substitute the Kimber for Jensen copper foil in oil capacitors. I have the AES SuperAmp 2 with Kimber Kaps and I'm quite amazed at this amps clarity and quickness", unquote.

Good Luck, should be nice.
