Before you criticise a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you do - you'll be a mile away. And have his shoes.
Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.

Let me guess: it's a caiman hide leather wallet.

There was some green jacket Nichicon BP caps that came with the Legato stage for the BII dac, I didn't really rate them tbh in that dac and found cheap 10uf Wima MKT's to be a lot better. I've now tried the Nichicons in the Caiman passive out and Stans new discrete stage and didn't get on with them there eitherThe high's sound quite dirty to my ears, maybe need more running in
I've ordered some 10uf 100v MKP2000 to try in the BII dac after another members recommendation so will try them with the Caiman too

Costs around £25
no probs with the passive output mod, thats how I run mine.
Letting go and relaxing

I designed a DC power supply noise and ripply filter, which both Leo and me have been trying out. It's a fraction of the price as wellStick a "Ripple Eater" between the PS and Dac and then see what you think

I'd say you'd get a fair bit of interest in that Stan.Could be a good seller.
