    Update: I'm unable to answer your question as I haven't heard an upgraded 306, but what I would say is that a capacitor replacement service by Amplabs provides stunning results, it's like a box of fireworks !

    I only changed the power supply caps in mine for a set of 63v 6800uf Kendiels, this a cracking little punchy amp.
    Over the years I had this amp I had 2 of the output speaker connectors crack and fail and personally I think this type of speaker connector are crap same as the Naim ones. Any decent speaker binding post would be better

    I mentioned this amp in a review of my power amps here

    I think that the popular WBTs are crap, the heat of my ATC amp cracked them.
