It is interesting to see the love for the McIntosh 1500. The C26 pre which is the basis of the 1500 doesn't get much love.
I've recapped my c26 per Terry Dewick and others on AudioKarma and it is fine (not my favorite pre but is sure is pretty).

Keep in mind that the preamp of the 1500 is going thru a tube amp and driver stage which helps a lot.Put Schotky diodes and PME-271 paper in wax caps in the audio path and you will really like you C26 much more. The C28 and C32 are much better but,you can do much more to your C26.

Thanks Mike. We might have chatted about these kemet caps in the past.
I'll put them on my next mouser order. I did not change out the coupling caps, only the electrolytics.

That sure looks nice. Where does the sound fall short for you?
