The oilers are still in the preamp and am just trying to enjoy the music for a while. These caps really didn't smooth out until well past 400 hours. I am saving my pennies, though, to try out the V-cap teflons some day.

So what's happening with the "mad scientist" Rx8man lately? You've been kind of quiet. Care to share your new tweak?

Pauly, Have you had an opportunity to evaluate the Sonicap Platinums? I would be curious to see how they compare to both the Dynamicap and V-cap TFTF in coupling locations.

Pat, You're going to give Joseph a nervous breakdown with this "Outer Limits" mod.

Dadgummit, Pat. Just when I thought you couldn't tweak this preamp anymore, your genius comes back to haunt us once again. Keep up the good work.

Joe, I love it when you keep us in suspense.
