Sherod, Wow your a man of action! Seems you got down to the bottom line on the upgrade and burn -in. Not so much the wire harness or power supply, rather its the output caps and bypasses that are troubling you.
That is great to know Sherod, but one important question still remains for this audionut. Would the caps you've removed ever have settled in and actually sounded better than the ones you put back in? Vic and Joe sure think they did?
Just reading this thread we know other caps took upwards of 350 hours and changed quite a lot over that time.
I am curious what your thoughts are on this.
One other question, I hope someone can help me with this. Tube positions 1 and 3 are where? Looking at the front of the unit and starting from the right hand side?
Stayed up to 3:00 AM listening. Music always sounds better after midnight and what's with that folks!
Thanks,
Bill
