In my oppinion, paper in oil caps are the best choice for the T1 as they are both sonically and phisically appropriate for the mic. I have tried film caps, I even use an ERO roederstein 1uf capacitor in the Arabella (the yellow one), this is ONE of the reasons that the Arabella and Tribute sound very different.

I have tried many transformers, souter, ludahl, harbuch etc, every time i go back to Cinemag. They are an amazing sounding transformer and what i find even more important than pricepoint is consistancy and that they are. The cinemag transformer is by no means cheap either but it is worth it.

cheers

thanks for your candor, and your speed!
