V-Cap ODAM Capacitor Upgrade in VTL 2.5i Pre?


I recently purchased a VTL 2.5i Preamp that I am considering upgrading with V-Cap ODAM caps. I really like the VTL sound, but am wondering if I can maximize it further. Has anyone upgraded their VTL with higher end caps or ODAMs specifically?

Of course, like many audiophile I sometimes sell gear to try something new. Does anyone have experience upgrading components like caps and then reselling gear? If so, would you expect this to impact resale significantly?

Can't offer anything on specific question, but I've been modifying my own equipment for decades, never had a problem selling at market rates or above. I assume some perceive mods as detrimental to sound quality and/or value, others just the opposite. I wouldn't let resale value deter you.

 

I'd expect the Odams could provide nice improvement in sq, caps are one of the more effective upgrades. Odams have plenty of nice reviews, I'd have no qualms about using if I had the need.
