Thanks for the note. That sounds like a good way of mounting the diodes. I believe the resistor should always be as close to pin 4 as possible to stop any oscillations so using pin 6 as a tag point is a good way to go.

Regarding the caps, anything that says "cost no object" worries me! Which ones have you ordered (0.1, 0.15, 0.22)? And what have you got at the moment that you'll be comparing them to?

Please do let us know how it goes so we can start saving the pennies!

  Teflon Film Tin Foil 0.1uF V-caps arrived yesterday.

  I replaced the 0.22uf Obbligato Copper in the Ella output coupling.

  Still breaking in. Seem a good choice. YMMV ;)

  Happy Ears!

    Months have sung by. I now have a pair of V-H TFTN on one channel and a pair of Obbligato Copper on the other. Both are 0.1 uF. They seem to have settled in well. Next energy burst, I will try and find some way to describe the differences. Don't wait up ;)

      Hi Al,

      Another month has gone by and I've only just noticed your update! Please do try and explain how they sound.

      Thanks,
      Graham

        V-Caps sound like the speakers and microphones are several meters closer together, at any volume level :)

        Take that! Stereophile!

        Happy Ears!
