Yeah I replaced every cap in all three units. QS caps are not bad, but I wanted better, for both sonics and longer life. I'm at the point now that I probably won't upgrade components a whole lot.
I've been skeptical of non-electrolytic cap burn in, but hopefully I'm wrong. I've been wrong many times before that's for sure.
I did precondition all of the caps at 625 vdc using my Lambda ps. That's not sinusoidal of course. I do it mainly to test for breakdown. A lot of caps come with nicks in the outer wrap so you never know.
I once had a Solen MPP 51uF/630 cap short internally due to a small nick in the wrapper. I checked everything and was perplexed until I finally zeroed in on it.
For the price of some film caps they should come protected somehow like tubes. What would that cost, maybe a nickel?
