Flat wound are designed to minimize real estate on a board. When winding a flat wound cap it is virtually impossible to maintain constant film and or foil tension, with a round wound it is easy to maintain constant wind tension. Constant tension is much preferred. Want an even better cap? Stacked film or stacked foil and film are about as good as it can get see picture. Hope this helps you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What specific caps would you use when replacing the original caps, whilst preserving the original sonic characteristics and perhaps improving the sound?

(surely he never had to balance quality or design goals with parts cost for mass production) JEM, get to the standard, then see if you have an objective preference from there.
