The guy who designed these refers to himself as a 'solder geek', a group of engineers that gets their jollies comparing the properties of various types of solder. They describe the uniqueness in the sound of vintage caps as partially being due to the micro-cracks in the solder and how this accounts for the leakage that differentiates them from modern caps. They further seem to pride themselves on the ability to hear the difference between these different grades/makes of solder. Apparently, Kester 44 is the gold standard and one aspect of these 'caps' was to incorporate and account for those micro-cracks in the design. I think these are the same guys that developed the Vox Nutube as these as they were discussing the incorporated technologies.
All of this is way past my pay grade but hopefully, I'll get some time to do a more proper comparison and analysis of them at some point... in the meantime I'm just enjoying them and trying to understand exactly how they differ from what I'm used to. :salude
