"The tone is back!"

I want these to sound so good and I will inevitably have to bite a bullet to try lol

"Parts is parts"?

IOW, you're buying these for the aesthetics. IMO. Which is not a terrible thing.

Jupiter caps won’t like this. They have a good product.

I like their electrolytic caps . Time will tell how they survive .

Well, sure. How could they? How many "Jupiter" branded caps do you see in vintage Fenders?

I know of a Bandmaster 6G7a that has some of them in it.

I haven’t used the electro caps. I tried to get them from CE Distribution and they had run out of stock.
What do Jupiter electro’s bring to the circuit?

Did the tone leave?

I hear them as warm and singing , not too much Marshall crunch . Punchy too. I like them as cathode bypass caps, they have a big impact on v1

Anyone can buy (or steal) the rights to a brand name, and start producing product with the branding and look of the original (in this case being produced by "Shin-ei, LLC" perhaps another purchased brand name, lol.)

Call me cynical, but I propose that if they look really good it'd be hard to objectively rate these without a blind test.

That definitely makes sense. There probably wouldn’t be any difference between them and Mallory 150’s. However, the look is important to owners of vintage Fender amps.
