By input filter, do you mean as DC blocking cap?

I haven't used them but they do seem good going by what I have read on the net.

Personally I think the change would be a positive one (electro' V Film), but then it will depend on whether you like the resulting sound or not.

Well the Jantzens arrived this morning and have already replaced the BG electrolytics in the power amp.
So far so good , nice improvement in body and no apparent downside.

Hi df, the sound is more solid and fleshed out , greater sense of liqudity and musical flow.
PRAT also seems to have moved up a notch or two.
The volume cotrol now seems to act more like a 'focus' control rather than just making the music louder ,if that makes sense.
I put the psu caps in around the same time so bare that in mind :)
