St. Patrick ‘s Day. All

Hi jafant, Happy Friday and St. Patrick's Day.  

After a little more digging on the Smith Connector's Hyper Series, there is variety of sizes, metals, termination style (crimp, solder cap, straight) and cost.  For example, 3.5mm socket/pin is ~$50 vs 1mm pin/socket is $5.  

Not suggesting this is better than GK Electra because I don't factually know.

Distributor with pricing

Would put together spreadsheet compiling all the relevant datasheet information and costs if there is interest.

It looks like you have everything in control , I apologize for stepping in .

If those are 100v 100uf electrolytic caps you might consider replacing them with Mundorf caps .

I will be receiving the 1uf 400v Purity caps and installing them on the tweeter side of the 2.7 board , I will be measuring the space available for the 1uf cap on the mid side to see if I can fit a 630v if not I know the 400v will fit ( there is even an 800v that is only 2mm larger than the 630v ) .  I don't know how much difference the higher voltages will make but Tom , beetle and other audiogon forum responses indicate that higher is better .
