Hi Dave,
The manufacturer doesn't recommend bypassing this 4.0uf preamp output cap as he says that will "brighten" the sound too much. The cap he puts there is a Hovland Musicap, a very musical cap, but IMHO, not the most revealing in the frequency extremes. I initially experimented with replacing it with an equal value V-cap OIMP( oil impregnated) and after break-in of the cap, there is more musical information being passed, but the overall sound is a tad too warm and rounded. I was hoping that bypassing with an equally good teflon would balance the sound by taking the extra warmth and roundness(softenness) away and adding the proper neutrality and natural edge that my ears are craving.
