InfiniCaps or V cap upgrades for ARC LS7


Hello Guys,

Just want to get better sound out of my LS7.  Wondering between InfiniCaps and V caps which would you guys recommend for output coupling caps.  Don't know if it worth it since it is very old.

Regards,
Eddy

If considering vcaps, which are quite pricey, I would concur with adg101 and consider bypassing, particularly with this preamp. It’s going to improve for sure but the LS7 is really not worth spending too much on for upgrades, diminishing returns would really come into play sooner rather than later. I would focus on a better linestage more than upgrading eddy1. just MHO.
Hi Charles

I hear you, 50.00 for the OIMP caps really isn't the overriding consideration but as adg101 points out and I concur, this particular preamp isn't really worth spending too much time and money on. It's an entry level pre and IMHO and experience with ARC pre-amps not worth it. I would concur with adg101 and focus on something better which I feel would yield a better outcome in time and money spent. The bottom line is that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and I feel that is the case here. In any case don't spend TOO much eddy1 whatever you decide.
