Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
Ha! I laughed a bit at the “blows away” comment. All subjective and based on the system the amps are placed in. The EVS amp, in my rig with a $15,000 preamp, sounded great. No way another amp would ever, ever “blow it away”. However, even the phra...

I happen to have the Thoress full function super preamp available if someone is interested.  Thoress is a very interesting company making hand crafted point to point wired gear with great build quality. Seems very few tube pieces are made this way...

Interesting. I did not find the EVS warm. I did find the tone of this amp is greatly influenced by the footers used and power cord. It could go from slightly warm to razor sharp leading edges and copious amounts of inner detail.

If money is no problem and they fit….the Duelund CAST Cu(Sn).  This is the best sounding capacitor ever produced in my opinion.

If by signal he means they are on the RCA outputs, then yes you can change. Don’t change the value of interstage coupling caps.

Absolutely!

Bpoletti, I am sorry but in this  case you could not be more incorrect.  Honestly. Pauly, no worries as the 3.3uf will sound great. Just wonderful. Order matched sets within 2% from the supplier.  Also, be sure to make note of the outer foil end a...

Very true and great point!

So do you like it better than the EVS? Just different? Trade offs?  
Capacitor
If the caps are not on the output, but interstage, you should stick with the value they have.  I am only talking about the output cap position.  The caps tied to the the RCA outputs!  
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
DH Labs and Vampire XLRs look absolutely identical as I have used both. Sure one makes for the other.  Yes, pure copper. Used both and very, very good.  
Capacitor
The Odams are much better than the Jantzen Superior Z which I am very familiar with. Different level of sonic performance and nuance to be frank. However, they do cost more.  Where are you located?

Both can.  I also used it on a A/B Coda #8 powerhouse amp.  No loss of dynamics.  
Capacitor
If cost is the issue, then consider a smaller value VH Audio Odam. Perhaps a 1.0 uf. In the end if these are still too costly for you, then a Miflex will be better than the others you mention. Yes, I have used all the caps you mentioned.Please be ...

The Puritan does not limit current. This has been my actual experience with large SS, pure class A amps which are very high current designs.
