| Lifetime of Auricap capacitors ? Voltage and temperature may affect their useful life but that's nowhere near electrolytics. With -55 to +85 degrees they could last more of a life time unless you place them exactly next to a tube.G | |

| It's the stylus... I do absolutely realize that having something crappy anywhere down the line will throw everything off and make what I am saying .meaningless. +1 When everything is perfect then the contact point has the first and final word, but only till then... | |
| VTA & SRA question! Yes it should. SRA also is affected more by changes in tracking weight.G | |
