Hello,
I've got the IO Signature with volume controls. I did add the second power supply to the set up within the first year of ownership. Certainly added definition and separation to the perspective. If you have the space it would be worthwhile.
With regard to the capacitors or eclipse upgrade, no idea, I have the same question. The cost is phenomenal. Although, I have experimented enough with capacitors to understand that they can change the sonic signature dramatically, not sure where it would go with the IO.
My whole system is packed in boxes right now as I am between homes so I'll be interested in your experience if you move forward. The other difficulty, for me, is that I'm not in the USA although the distributor's technician resides locally; so that may be option for not sending the unit off for upgrade (just do the caps locally) via the tech.
Let us know how (if) you proceed, IF its just the Moncrief caps maybe just doing those would be good enough.
I must say theat the chassis of the IO is not commensurate with its sonic performance, the new metal work would be a great improvement. However, the cost is really out of this world.
Good Luck!
