Do either of you have Solen output caps like shown in the picture?

The specs say REL AudioCap RT is stock.

Mine have the exact Solen (French-made?) output caps...

Perhaps it's an older picture...I know they went through a "capacitor shoot-out" that's linked somewhere at that website...

The above caps test/ link I had lost. Interesting how they and "Humble" both concur and differ, both in methodology and preferences. I just wish the top caps were cheaper and didn't take so bloody long to run in!

Got that right. The V-Cap telflons took over 1000 hrs to stop changing. Remember the Blackgates, some said they never broke in.

Charles --- FYI, your caps were "Schwartz'd"; not OEM by John Wiesner...

  Frankenschwartz was at the preamp but but Sir Wiesner rescued it  in time. All the other caps are MIT.
