Output Caps For Dehavilland Ultraverve

Has anyone changed the output caps on their Ultraverve, and if so with what and to what effect?  A couple of years ago Kara suggested Mundorf's with the caveat that she had not experimented with any of the more esoteric options.  Thanks for your advice...

Hi HIFIBUG, 

would you care to share the pics of the cap replacement? I have an UV 3 with stepped attenuator.

I helped a v3 owner just this week with the same mod. He simply added the Duelund silver bypass caps and loves it!

Do you have the specs on the Duelund bypass caps? I looked above in the thread and only noticed 0.33 uF value, but no Duelund type description...Thanks.

Jupiter copper foil caps 2.2uf. $200 for both at Sonic Craft. Place the Duelund .01uf silver foil bypass caps in parallel

I found the quote below on the Soundlabs Group website under Auracap instructions, is what you are talking about above not in the signal path ?

Do not use bypass capacitors in the signal path. A single capacitor for DC blocking / AC coupling creates a simple path with one time constant. The signal quality will be compromised if a bypass or multiple bypass capacitors are added to a signal path capacitor.
