Cary CAD-300SE Signature Mono Amps, upgrade
Hey Linnmaster, my friend V-caps were well burned in. V-Caps and M-Caps are both excellent, it just comes down to a matter of taste. Cary amps seem to favor the oil caps. 
Best room treatment

In Whose Ears Do You Trust Most?
We all seek validation it is a human trait. You could have the best sounding system in the world until one day someone tells you it sounds like crap, then you start second guessing your own ears until the next person validates your opinion.It is l...
