Don't need to tell you guys what a profound difference this makes right from the get go.
Give it 3-400 hours and I will report back. These BIG PIG Duelands are an absolute pain in the
arse to fit but the results are already over the top.

Nice caps Graham ;D
Did I see silver wire there? :o

gamve.. looks awesome.. love the duelunds. :P

Yeah William it's some sort of silver litz wire. I was sorely tempted to replace it with some solid core neotech and would have except the cheapie RCA's holes were not big enough for some WBT's. Anyways just change one thing at a time is probably a good idea. This thing is a prototype (markings on the back are actually for a DAC enclosure) but the cooking version was ultra expensive when new something like 12K gulp... Thankfully my mate was realistic with what he wanted for it. I looked up the latest models, saw the pricing and nearly crapped myself. Go and check it out.
