First of all, it's just common sense. That is a high dollar cost no object preamp. It makes absolutely no sense that they would severely compromise the design and sound by putting a electrolytic capacitor in the signal path. It makes as much sense as putting a one barrel carburetor with a 1" throat on a Corvette LT1. Second if you take the time to look at the picture of the unit you will see a couple of dozen plastic caps that are obviously the signal caps. Third, it even says in the blurb: CAT coupling capacitors are made to our specifications and are better than any other audiophile grade capacitor. Fourth, 47uF is not a value that makes any sense as a coupling cap.

There is no chance there is a electrolytic cap in the signal path on that unit.
