Can someone who has experience rolling different output capacitors on the Crack/Crackatwoa comment on the significance and audibility of these changes?  On my Crackatwoa, I have a pair of Mundorf Evo Aluminum in Oil, basically bought the highest quality output caps I could fit without too much trouble, and admittedly, did not do a lengthy A-B comparison versus stock since I was strapped for time when building.  I haven't attempted to swap them out since finishing the build a year ago, and probably never will, but just curious for those who have swapped several caps, what is the magnitude of the difference in sound?

For example, many people call the Mundorfs "warm" vs. other caps.  Are we talking a slight warm tilt, or a night-and-day difference?  Thanks.
