I am not a DIYer. I listened to a lot of 2A3s DC and cap coupled. My impression is that, for both typologies, the quality of the OPTs can be responsible for large sonic improvements. Quite a few years separate my hearing of a Baby Ongaku SRPP-Cap coupled with Magnequest Silver OPTs and a pair of Fi 2A3 dc amps and i was enthralled by both. I have changed the OPTs on the Fis to a Magnequest OPT with interleved windings in the secondary and got a nice improvement. My last wish in life is to save 6K and get the silvers!

This doesn't vitiate your statement about the importance of typology, but I have heard a lot of cap coupled 2A3s with SRPP front ends and better OPTs make a big difference.
