Capacitor question
Don't change your cables just yet. Yes another 300 hours will make a difference.

Gwho, you will simply need to try one of these amps and decide for yourself. I liked the CJ and Sunfire and know you will find them quite acceptable. My experience is that tube amps have a harder time with the highs where the impedance drops, even...

The CJ MF2500a is also very special. Not as powerful as the Sunfire, but sounded better and had enough power as an FYI. These "budget" amps can hold their own with big dollar amps. They will make the SL's sing!

Atmasphere, you are spot on and yes the SL's needed more power. I bet the MA2's would be heaven! I did complete the mods mentioned on my A1's as well as several other mods found on the now pretty quiet SL forum. Roger West was very helpful and act... 
Capacitor question
Yeh, some caps take that long to sound their best. Them are the facts and listening over time has proven it out. One can certainly do better then Jensen PIO caps, but one has to suffer the burn in time with Vcaps.

I have had the very same experiences with Paul and love his gear. Glad to see you have your music back! I have his modified Sony DVP 900ns with optional battery power supply. I love It and have unmodified units for back up parts as I will always u... 
Anyone ever compare Deluend to Russian KBG
I have compared the CAST to the Ampohm and SGO Mundorf's in my tube preamp and as good as the others were the CAST are in a total different league after 50 hours of burn in.

Aesthetix Atlas question
My Atlas stereo version does not do this? Great amps!
