Why is there no love for Prima Luna?

@tablejockey ,  I think that photo you linked to caused me confusion before.  PL lists Mundorf capacitors yet the photo has DuRoche or SCR caps I think.  I also think PL switch from DuRoche to Mundorf at some point. 

At any rate, at one point (a year ago) I opened mine up to do some cleaning and take a look around. I thought swapping caps was tougher than it should be because the case was really stuffed with parts. Maybe I'll open it again and take a look.  

I, too, wanted to upgrade caps.  I have no issue with PL making decisions to limit part cost--they all do it.  

I would love to use these Polish caps -- they are moving into the radar out there and have gotten more expensive. https://www.partsconnexion.com/miflex.html. I think Don Sachs uses these too. 

@tablejockey,   the caps you would want to swap out are those hooked to the tube sockets.   Take a look here:  https://www.v-cap.com/zsolt-andrasy-primaluna-dialog-premium.php

The v-caps used in that mod are supposed to be great.  I know Victor of Elekit "fame" now uses them as their 300B upgrade (previously used Mundorf).  

I'm a big fan, having the Premium and Dialogue HP, which is used with P3ESRs and Monitor Audio Golds respectively.  I also swap the Zu Dirty weekends and a vintage B&W, and it's great. 

They do seem to catch some shade on here, I'm not sure why.  

Otherwise, what up 513! 

Cincy is pretty much closed up with the pandemic. I’m working from home and not going much of anywhere. At least it affords me time to research and dream about the new system I’m planning to get. Of course I’ve been in love with a different shiny toy every few days. Sooner or later I’m bound to nail down at least one component. Likely choose speakers first then work backwards toward the source.
