    Definitely. Ears are the most reliable tools. Reviews, opinions and specs can only tell you so much.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Ferociously testing multiple types of Capacitors for the next incarnation of the FB-OTP and the upgrade pack.

    Ive had to buy a headphone amp to please the Wife. Listening to the same song 10 times in a row does get on peoples nerves lol. Seems that the most expensive capacitors aren't always the best sounding!!

    Its amazing how different they all sound.

    Next: Opamps

    More to follow!

    Make sure you give each type a decent time to not just burn in but for your ears to adjust. I went through lots when I was making my own cross overs. I eventually went for a combination which I never thought I would do. Combinations also set a different playing field so try and do it methodically. I'm sure you are though 😁

    Thats a good shout, Josie. I am looking for further option as there are many to look at. Thankfully, someone informed me of some other to try so they will be on the purchase list soon!
