all i can see is that theyre made to closer specs. whereas the cheapos may be +/- 10% the boutiques will be +/-2% or 1%

i think thats what your hearing in the up grade

Peoples ears are sometimes different, I know this, I got my WCR Fillmores, installed them initially with the ceramic caps in place, I thought , man whats all the hype about these? not much better than my stock pickups, Then I got some Orange Drop caps from HolyGrail, WHOA ! the difference was like night and day , I havent gone the vintage wiring route, YET , actually waiting on a more vintage set of caps soon on the way , my pots were already good, the Gibson type with the lil gold dot centers and depressed circles in the back
