Really Amazing!

In Reply to: I too think it is acting a bit like a voltage support capacitor in a power supply.. posted by Smelly_Socks on December 31, 2015 at 05:34:44:

Well, I finally tried it out you bunch of lunatics! - on both my monoblocks, noticeable in a decent but subtle way, then on my dac - same thing but now accumulative and not so subtle and starting to render some spatial effects. Then finally a week later on my front end (flac streamer) Logitech Transporter - Now I'm thinking maybe the Transporter has a crappy ground plane because Holy Mother of Jesus, what a difference. The combination of all three is equal to a substantial capacitor upgrade.
Never ever heard my system quite like this before!

I'm running 9v little batteries on the amps, and big 6v lantern batteries on the dac and Transporter, 10,000uf Generic bypassed with Multicap film cap 5uf and a mundorf silver in oil 0.1uf on each.(all in my stash)
Sounds great - lightened the bass a little, used 4700uf at first but then 10,000uf (I think this helped with the bass but will have to compare again later) The BGT has really opened up the midrange and extended the top, but now I have spatial effects like nobodys business, quite incredible! Had given up that hi-fi could ever sound like this thought that was just a pipedream.
Has anyone managed to nail a special combo on the caps? mine are amazing as is but the tilt upwards, I can deal with but would love to be able to fill in the lower end too?

Maybe try the Raspberry Pi, and even my Router next?

Raspberry Pi
Logitech Transporter
Audio Gd Ref7 Dac (AN dac 4.1x out for repair)
Audio Note P4 Monos
Quad Esl 63's

I'm embarrassed to tell my friends, I'm just going to let them hear this
