I finally got around to replacing the stock binding posts with nice brass colored cardas ones. I can really notice any sound changes. Maybe a bit but I'm guessing if i was blinded. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference...but the look suits the amp better.

I bought a pair of Sonicap Gen 1s and a pair of (larger valuable) Silver/Gold/Oil for my Foreplay. I have Mundorf Mundorf (?/?/?) for my Paramour interstage and Clarity for my Paramour Parafeed.
So... I have some cap rolling to do after Sept 1.

Gotta say that I am the same way. I like the heavy duty stuff when it comes to binding posts and AC inlets. Not that I want to torque down on them, but just a great connection without question. And yah, they do look good too.

Hey Granger you should rig up something like Jimmy did. We need a resident Bottlehead caphead to balance things out!

I feel sure that I will burn in the caps on my Eagle downstairs then use alligator clips to swap hot between the caps I'm comparing like I did with the Eros. It takes several swaps back and fourth to solidify my decision.
Then out comes the solder and I try to stay happy for a year or two.
