The outboard PS caps are a 51/1500 Solen and a 50/660VAC motor-run...

...both 'propylenes, that replace the inboard 'lytics, that total 135µF. They're temporary; ultimately I'll build or buy a box for them. With changes in the PS's 1st-pole caps, the total capacitance will be around 300 v. the original's 270 (at 1000VDC, which is a problem finding suitable caps).

The PC isn't hard wired because, among other reasons, I haven't relocated everything in my system. I plan to eliminate the RPTV in the center and park a new centerchannel speaker and the 2 poweramps in the center...and probably still won't hardwired the PCs, because they're SHORT.

A golden-eared friend once soldered every cable into his tonearms, preamps, poweramps, etc. He said it sounded better for every connector he eliminated, but it sure was difficult to move. My version is still easy AND sounds better.
