Hi and thanks for the question
Let's say that i am extremely gullible from what i read
But some words make me sense like:
1) cilindrical caps are better than squared ones (like the original for instance)
2) brands that are able to make very top quality parts have the know how that they tend to apply also on entry level parts (they have a reputation to defend)
So in the end i decided to go with entry level MKP from Mundorf

The sound ... nice i think. There is detail ... not particular distortion ... voices are nice.

But i am expecting much bigger improvements from the work on power supply.
I am sure that the quality of the power supply can make a bigger difference
I am a little stuck now because the soldering pump i bought it is not for me ... i do not like they way it works
I have ordered another one ... electrical
The diodes leads are very tiny ... and are a lot
I would have bought nice big diodes ... of the Schottky kind
But diodes are spaced so close that i do not really understand how they design the lay out
Sometime i am mesmerized by the quality of some pcbs for DIY projects compared to also not cheap audiophile units
This is for me a joke ... it should never happened
But i understand that many Companies are ruled by the marketing demons !
The products must please the eyes most than every other thing.

To end the rambling the complete work will take me a while
I need to receive first the new desoldering tool and a better grade of solder (i love the alloy 2% Ag - 62% Sn - 36%Pb that i have ordered as well)
Then any decent soldering tool will be fine. This alloy is fantastic.
I have a very very heavy hand .., and still the joints are very good indeed. And i believe that the quality of joints can also influenced the result.

I will report again at the end of the work.
Thanks a lot indeed for your kind advice ... and question.
I am a little excited. No one has ever asked my opinion.
Well ... my former boss did.
He used to give me his reports to read and then to ask if i understood them, saying that if i were able to understand them every body else would have also understood them.
Kind regards,
bg
