Do you leave it on all of the time?

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

If you leave it on all of the time then you might have good results with Blackgates, particularly the non polar ones. They do take a long time to settle in (months) and they sound their best when you never turn them off. This might be why some people don't like them. Also, some of the Blackgates are quite large and they may or may not fit as a "drop in" replacement. Make sure to check that.
I agree with Devillears about the voicing aspect of caps. But reality is unavoidable. I have a feeling that you are unable to get the exact same parts and you will have to let that part of the equation go.
Please post back and let us know if you find a source for your Elna Cerefines. Good luck!
