Output Caps For Dehavilland Ultraverve
Correct. You get a gold star! Keep to total capacitance at 2.2uf to 2.8uf or so.

Very subjective for sure with 1 - 3.5 watts. I have talked to DI owners who experience did not match Terry’s with the ZOTL combo or good flee watt amps. Terry and others love it, others will not. No right or wrong here, just differing sonic pleasu...

Well, I will finally get a chance to hear the upgraded version of the DI’s in @grey9hound system Friday. He was kind enough to let be come by for a visit and listen. Looking forward to meeting Dennis and enjoying his wonderful system.

Cable Survey
I would not go for the silver foil, but stick with the stranded copper. Try it first.  Amazing cable. Twist the positive and negative run every 1.5 - 2 inches.  Hook up with the bare wire on both ends for best sound. It will not oxidize. Don't let...

Agree with LAK on the wonderful Furutech Nano SO-22N. Great cord and only $19 foot on sale at VH Audio. The new Duelund 16 gauge stranded and tinned copper wire in oil impregnated cotton is my choice for both speaker cables and ICs. $10 per meter ...

Another good choice if you don’t want to parallel caps is to go with the Jupiter copper foil caps, 600vdv. Get the 2.2uf value. Sonic Craft sells them for $140 each or so. They are spectacular. Right up there with a Duelund CAST in this position. ...

I owned ASL amps before and had several issues with blowing tubes and resistors. They were different models like the Hurricane, but worth mentioning here.   
Output Caps For Dehavilland Ultraverve
No issues at all going into my friends mklll. Very easy to do. When I say no problem, I mean fitting the Jupiter and Duelund bypass. The Duelund silver foils are very small and the Jupiter’s fit. The Duelund CAST is a great cap, but a 2.2uf value ... 
Question for cable/wire naysayers.....
Naysayers naysay on a lot more topics than this particular one. Naysaying is built into their personality and it is as simple as that. Nothing wrong with that or them, but it must be understood. Beyond that what @geoffkait said above is certainly ...

 Also consider these Audio Note monoblock amps for sale; 300b parallel SET monoblock amps. http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649306274-audio-note-300b-parallel-legend/Music Reference RM 10 would also be a sweet match with your DI speakers in my e... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Well said John and I agree 10000% based on my experience.
