Just wondering if anyone else shared this opinion. PBT is often lauded for not shining, what not everyone knows is that it does shine eventually, it just takes longer, and not even very long I think. If we take the kings of both type of caps (imo) OG dyesubs and GMK, the shined dyesubs feel worse than the shined GMK. The PBT's feel sandpapery and slightly oily, while the GMK feel more smooth, albeit more oily, of two bad choices I'd prefer the GMK ones. This would, counter intuitively mean that the much cheaper caps (GMK) would be better in the long run (that is, if you are not planning on replacing your caps every time they get shined). In my experience, NIB OG dyesubs get shined after about a year of heavy use, not very much better than ABS considering the hype and price of PBT imo, (ABS will begin to shine after maybe 2-3 months of heavy use in my experience (I know all this is anecdotal and shine happens not as fast for everyone, but it seems to happen fast for me, maybe I have oily fingers). While I agree that pbt can feel better unshined, I think it feels worse shined compared to shined ABS. Is there anyone who has had a similar experience ?
