Lew, what I would like to present as not being hyperbolic IMHO, is the effect of multiple tweaks adding up to being yuge improvements. While one man's minor improvement is another man's hyperboli (sp?) a half dozen "minor" improvements add up to vast improvement. Like I've said before different people hear differently. I believe that high quality caps in power supply are a big difference. If I remember correctly you differ with that point of view. This is a tweaker's forum. I mean for all of my suggestions to come from personal listening experience or at the very least, logical extrapolation there of and are put forth to help people improve their sound. )Of course, along the way, they are really meant to gratify my gargantuan ego and are totally selfish.) Most tweaks I mention, especially with the kind of money many spend on this hobby, are inexpensive and easy to try. The resistance to buying a dollar fifty cap and taking a few minutes to listen so my head can swell a bit is beyond my understanding. T456

I don't differ with the notion that high quality caps in a power supply are a big difference, at all. But it does beg the question of what is the definition of "high quality", or whose definition are we using?
But no, I don't disagree. Most of the time the chassis size is the major determinant of what can work in a PS, over and above what one might otherwise like to do.

I am always surprised when someone writes that he can hear big sonic differences between two very good electrolytic capacitors of identical value and voltage rating used in a power supply filter. My a .......
Anyhow,everyone has to decide for themselves. I keep bringing up the fact that one has to do their own listening to make good decisions,IMO. I take in opinions and try stuff. I compared the "best" Nichicon to the Elna Silmic ll and thought the Silmic's blew away the Nichicons. One "expert" electronics person thought just the opposite. I myself don't care what anyone likes. I don't understand the resistance I get to simple , easy suggestions of things to try. The Silmic's were just about exactly what my brain was looking for. Some people don't like them. T456
