"It will cost you less than $50 for the parts, and will
add about $1,000 of refinement to the sound quality of the
entire system. Voices and instruments sound more real, enhancing
the “you are there” sensation. I can’t stress
to you what a huge difference these little parts make."

"The moded ones took on a whole new character,
and could easily have passed for much more expensive speakers".

"I liked the UltraVerve preamplifier, and I really liked
the upgraded unit. It is detailed but musical. The Auricap
upgrade is a very worthwhile move in the direction of music
for minimal cost."

"The Auricaps are great
parts, and represent a significant step forward in capacitor
technology and audio-musical performance... Better and
cheaper. What more can you ask for?"

"Auricaps are metalized polypropylene capacitors precision-wound
in the US, and are considered by many to be the finest capacitors
available."

"The Auricapped 21A sounds fundamentally neutral, but
its presentation has notable bloom and, as with the very best
tube preamps, the ability to portray space -- around performers
and as an entity itself. Its sound is spacious. There is no
tubey glaze, but also no etch or edge. Instead, there is clarity,
vigor, and grace. Nobody will say the 21A is laid-back, but
it doesn't sound forward either. It walks the line of perspective
as few preamps do, tipping neither one way nor the other.
Its performance is accomplished -- very detailed and very
enjoyable."

"..replacing the caps in the preamp signal path with
Auricaps can lead to nothing but a distinct improvement in
the presentation."

"But if you want absolute
transparency without the paper in oil coloration, then you
must give Auricaps a try. Auricaps are very neutral, uncolored,
and smooth capacitors; they are also really fast. They are
presented in an attractive build, sport the best measures
in class, are available in a rather large number of values
and are rather cheap if compared with the other audio-grade
capacitors."
