I'll let you all in on the tweak I'm going to do. It's not really a secret. I am going to try the V-Cap OIMP, oil-impregnated cap in place of the upgrade Hovlands that Joseph puts in as output caps in his upgrades. Out of curiosity, I asked Joseph if he had tried it and due to long break-in periods and cost, Joseph didn't have a chance to evaluate it, so I asked him if I could give it a try. He gave me the go ahead. If the cap seems that it has potential or proves overall superiority to the Hovland( by the way, a very nice sounding cap in Joseph's circuitry) Joseph could consider it as another upgrade option. Being a tweaker and curious about the V-cap's sonics, I couldn't resist hearing it in the preamp. I just ordered the V-Caps, so it will be a few days before I receive them and the caps will need an additional 200 hours of break-in to realize their potential. I'll give time to time impressions on this thread. http://www.v-cap.com/oilcapacitors.html
