If you've done that without destroying the capacitor, you must have some skill with a soldering iron. Like I wrote earlier, Dynamicaps, like their Infinicap forebears, are very fragile where the lead joins the body of the capacitor. I know this from sad experience especially with Infinicaps. Messing with the joint is a path down which I would not follow, even if I believed even remotely that it would do some audible good.
I think by now you can stop quoting that line from Robert Fulton. We know.

Hi Lew,
See my recent post on HOW to mod the large 4.0 "E" .
From your posted words, you don't know yet at all !!

compared to some other types. I notice that you used stranded wire as your new lead wires. I know that you "believe in" using a lot of wire, in terms of current carrying capacity, but have you compared stranded to solid core, better yet, multiple strands of individually insulated solid core wire? When and where current is important, I tend to favor the latter solution vs conventional stranded wire.
