Ok... The deed's been done! Decided to go one better than the PIOs I was looking at, and try these Jupiter Copper Foil Paper & Wax jobbies: https://www.hificollective.co.uk/com...il_in_wax.html



Loved the description of the sound:

"Wax with very special sonic characteristics, better damping and thermal characteristics was chosen as a perfect match. Further, new lead termination technique has allowed the music to flow more naturally. Without exception, every detail has been tailored to this specific copper capacitor design. After four years of refinement Jupiter Copper Foil capacitors are here.

Life like vibrance gives the feeling of presence, along with micro-detail, holographic bass, and aural decay that is disarmingly natural, the ears will know immediately."

...so couldn't resist!!

And I'll be replacing the stock binding posts with these copper CMCs, which seemed really good value: https://www.hificollective.co.uk/bin...terminals.html



Full report to follow once Dazza's visited and wielded his trusty soldering iron!
