Has anyone tried IDAGIO yet?If so, what do you think of it? 
Upgraditis?

Preamp break-in
Recapping wasn’t cheap (about $1500,) but it’s probably the best investment I could have made.  Already hearing amazing improvement. Like I just bought a super expensive piece of equipment. 
Preamp break-in
Thank you for the responses. I’m happy with the improvement with the caps already. I can only imagine how much better it will be after break-in! 
This is juvenile...
