for the TFTF
I have just finished the last 100 hours of breaking in the V-caps in my DIY Transcendent Sound SC 150 mono blocks and they are worth every penny. Speed, clarity, sound stage, and slam. Yes, the whole package! These caps, along with Bruce Rozenblit's tube powered push pull design, made the 1200-watt solid state Sunfire amp sound slow. The V-cap brings to the table the detail and staging that I thought was only possible in those $10,000 amps. And they say that power cables and conditioners are the final frontier in audio, HA!
Product Weakness: Large, make sure you have the room on your board. Product Strengths: Well packaged, heavy gauge leads, installation instructions, sound.
