Hello all,

I'm interested in what people who have heard the speaker feel about it. I currently run spatial M3 turbos and have an all tube analog setup ( line magnetic, hagerman ) with an oppo 105 being the digital front end.


Previous speakers have been acoustic zen, reference 3A, Maggie 3.6, and triangles. I am more concerned with a huge immersive sound stage than I am with pinpoint imagery. I have a big room and have plenty of space between the back wall and my speakers if I need it.


Any thoughts?

@jbhiller Thanks for the offer, but even with detailed photos, quite frankly, I'm unlikely to attempt these modifications. I lack two necessary things at the moment - time and patience. Maybe one day, as I'm sure the mods would make these speakers even better than stock.
As Don had indicated, you need to ensure the VCap ODAM bodies don't touch anything conductive as they are conducive too.  I started by applying high grade silicone tape (electricians use this to cover high amperage lines).  However, I got a bit nervous about anything touching so I tore it off and started over by wrapping each and every capacitor;  peace of mind.
@jbhiller , many thanks for the details on your mods. Between your experiences and Don Sachs's, I'm getting closer to trying them myself.

So what exactly did you end up wrapping the ODAMs with? And how did you glue them down?
I wrapped the ODAM bodies with black silicone electrical tape.  Something like this:  https://www.amazon.com/Seal-Self-Fusing-Silicone-Tape/dp/B08B3JSJF3/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&key...=

I honestly didn't glue every last piece down.  I realize vibration could play a role here, but my solder welds were very strong and I positioned things so snugly that nothing is going to move. You could easily put some hot glue or clear silicone underneath replacement parts to go the extra mile.  I believe Don did. I think I put some silicone under two of the biggest caps.  Frankly, everything fits so snugly anyhow.  

I took photos and a video of everything before I disassembled it just so I'd have a reference as to what went where. 
jbhiller,
I guess that I missed something. What was the reason for wrapping the ODAM caps?
