I notice that the CCS board sits directly over one  of the output caps but can't tell from the pic how much clearance there is.    With the buffer output mod, is there a provision to mount the larger caps?   Maybe some larger audiophool caps?

With the buffer output mod, there is quite a bit of room where we mount the 10uF caps and there is no vertical obstruction.  They also don't need to carry much of a voltage rating at all following the buffer, so even a 50V rated cap would work well there.

Just completed CCS and attenuator mod...very nice!   Tighter bass and improved clarity across the frequency range, well worth it!
