Yes indeed. Agreed. The Cutf .01uf and Odam do make magic together in electronics such as your Pre. I use the combo all the time in Orchid dac upgrades.   
A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT
David, praying for you and family. Thank you for updating us and we find your perspective both healing and encouraging.

My post spelled that out if you go back and look at it. Bypassing does not always work well.  Trial and error at best. Some combos don’t sound quite right. I know Odam and Cutf work well in electronics.  I don’t like bypassing in crossovers as oft...

I agree with Tvad’s comments. Also, we really don’t know when MC started down the road of being a dealer. Being enthusiastic about a product and later working for that same company is really not an issue. It makes sense actually. Being passionate ...

I would not use a bypass cap in a crossover. Don’t think they sound right in this application. Makes the sound sort of nervous. One great cap is better. Bypass caps are great in power supplies and SOMETIMES in coupling and output positions. It dep... 
Electrolytic capacitor replacement
No need. If you solder the leads properly from under the board, then you can tension the leads strong enough so the cap rests securely on top of the precisely cut Soundcoat pads. This is all you need. If you don’t want to do that, then hot glue al... 
What Integrated Amp do You use
Here is an interesting integrated that comes from Poland.  The Circle Labs A200. I own it and just love it. Very interesting circuit design in this tube hybrid design. It is a tone monster!  
Electrolytic capacitor replacement
Careful drilling holes if the board is double sided etc…! Also, sometimes a ground plane is located close to the solder pads. You could cause a short.  Soundcoat is sold at Parts Connextion and Sonic Craft I think. Sonic Craft used to sell it. I u...

Are you using the Audio Note KAISEI caps? Great caps!  
Electrolytic capacitor replacement
If the caps are snap in, then…..Simple. Solder leads to the cap that are long enough for you to mount it at whatever angle etc… you need. Be sure to keep these lead outs as short as possible and place heat shrink over the lead outs between the cap... 
Jupiter Copper Foil, Paper & Wax Cap Versus Jensen Cap 0.10uF 630Vdc Copper Foil Ceramic
Agree with Above! Also, I have found Vcap Odams superior to my long time favorite Jupiter Copper foil in both crossovers and electronics. Much better bass, dynamics and openness.  Odams are also a tad smoother and more neutral in the upper mids an...

@audiopoint, Yes, we are now in the Nashville area and loving it.  Also, The Audiophile’s Wife is seriously considering writing again.  If fact, we are contemplating a shared site where we sell audio cables and she hosts her blog as well as other ...

Ok then.

In addition to the GroundMaster ?

They also sound flat and 2D which is an electronic artifact, not the sound intended on many good recordings.
