They really are kinda amazing aren't they? One of those things you have to hear to buy into. Glad your ears heard changes in accordance with mine. I bet if you could find away to get them closer than that 18" of wire performance and especially ripple voltage would go down by at least one decimal point. I use a combo of 40uF, small choke, 40uF, resistor, 60uF and ended up with with only a few millivolts of ripple....as in 0.005 VAC.One idea you might consider, or at least what my friend did, was bought an extra chassis from the manufactuer(which was cheaper than we thought) and attached it to the bottom of the old chassis and ended up with a stock looking amp that had a chassis twice as deep and that gave us the room to mount things inside. Just an idea. Glad you like the change.
Now me....I'd like to try those silver supreme coupling caps but wish I could see the physical size as I need them to work with a PCB so lead spacing is an issuse. Didn't you also try out some of the high priced PIO types too?
