haven't tried the super-e in k pass in my 300B. am using the BG WK 220uf/200v which is still non-polar (much cheaper too than the BG-Ns). In my AN DAC, however, the improvement was immediately obvious when I changed the k bypass of the 6922, from the standard 220uf/16v to a pair of non-polar BG 100uf/16v. they sounded IMHO more "open" and seemed to be "faster" Am not too familar with the audio terminology, but they do sound better. super e in the k of your 6SN7 and 5687 may not be too costly since you can use 16v caps. Just don't exceed recommended capacitance.

  Hi GTCharlie,
  thanks for your commnets.
  Well, I have to determinate if NH 220/160V will worth the effort over Standard 220uF/100V. Just a little detail, don't you think?.
  Regards,
  Beto
  P.S. Will be a good thing, also, change R24 and R23, 3K3 resistors with tantalums?

    if this is the resistor to the grid of the final stage, yes. Get the 2w. PQ says the 2w sounds better. Can't hear the difference myself, but presumably (due to higher power rating) more stable. Hope this helps.
