    Got some 100nf bypass caps from epay too.

    I can describe that the most noticable aspect of the mod for me is the following:

    - Less grain on bright tracks (this was a really annoying aspect before)
    - Tighter Bass
    - More detail on instruments.

    I have huge crossover Mundorf caps lol a bit overkill and far from pretty, but does a good job =)

    It's going back a while since I did this mod, but as I remember it: Detail retrieval went through the roof, instrument texture and decay is breathtaking, timing is massively improved, bass goes lower, is more tuneful and better controlled (I had a bit of boom before doing this mod, partially down to my room, but this seemed to sort it out), treble is natural and airy. Oh and vocals - well they just become completely free of the speakers and project right out in front of you.

    Now I've remembered all of that, I'm definitely doing the Caiman this week

    It has occurred to me that you could use the variable output (cut the connectors) and then you could swap between the two?

    Just some Nichicon Muse electrolytics, non-bipolar ones as I happened to have them lying around. I have some bipolar ones for doing the Caiman mod though. Not sure how much difference that will make.

    StanB. Is there any reason not to use the variable outputs for this mod if you don't use them?
