This is a bit off-topic, but I want to share the very best that I have been learning!
I reached out again to Nick Lucas from
https://www.hificollective.co.uk. Asking him about the other component upgrades for my amp, this was the email response from Nick:
"Hi
Mix it up a little, use some 2W Allen Bradleys and the 2W AMRGs in the circuit. The Bradleys will add a slight bit of warmth and colouration and the AMRG will give the detail.
Regards
Nick "
This along with his suggestions of using this particular brand of electrolytic capacitors. This is from another email Nick sent me:
"Hi
See
CAP-100-R-22U-500V: 22uF 500Vdc Audio Note Kaisei POLAR Electrolytic Capacitor
and
CAP-100-R-50U-500V: 50uF 500Vdc Audio Note Kaisei POLAR Electrolytic Capacitor
Regards, Nick"
