Sns- I agree completely with Al about not replacing caps with anything of a lower voltage rating. Your RS804 can be replaced with an IXYS FBE 22-06N1. The Phono One seems to have a spacious chassis. I would think you'd be able to accomodate four IXYS DSEI 12's(TO-220 package) or one VBE 26-12NO7 without a problem, to replace the BR310, and run wires. I promise: The benefits will far outweight the effort.
Power supply upgrades
I'm looking to upgrade the power supply in my Cayin Phono-One pre. Initially planning on upgrading caps, presently have Nichicon LU 100uf 450v, Nichicon VR 22uf 450v, some other Nichicon 3300 UK25u HO527. These are all radial lead. Bypass with film caps, replace with higher grade electrolytics, replace with film caps? What are the sonic benefits or downsides to using higher capacitance than stock? Best resistors, most likely need axial lead due to fitment issues?
Trying to attain greater dynamics, slam, and more resolution.
Also, looking for these sonic attributes after already having changed out stock caps for V-Caps and Jantzen Z-Superior. Planning on changing out stock resistors in signal section. Power supply upgrades would be last upgrade. I want to max out this preamp just for kicks.
