My Blackgate experience . . .

I am quite late to this post but thought I would chime in anyway. One thing that I remember reading from a brother inmate is to use Blackgates on gear that you leave on all of the time. If you will be turning it off quite a bit then perhaps you should try something else. This actually makes sense to me, as I leave everything turned on except my power amps. The amps sound fine at turn on but get "spooky" better after 18 to 24 hours of on time. Maybe it's the Blackgates, maybe not. The amps have plenty of run in time, they just do something a little better after a nice long warm up. Food for thought.

Also, I would not choose electrolytics for a signal cap upgrade. There are plenty of film and PIO caps that would do a better job. Perhaps space is an issue???
