Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC

I'm gettin my DAC back later this week from Johm, it had been built from the ground up 12months ago, but it was just this week the Black Gate caps have been put in. I'm not getting overly excited about it, I'll be suprised if I hear a big jump, but I am anxious if anybody out there has had it done and what the results were?

"Black Gates are a waste of money."

Careful with this advice. There are lots of different Black Gates and lots of different applications. They are certainly not the best at signal coupling, but for LF power decoupling, they are simply the best on the market, assuming you choose the right types and values and install them in the right places.
