And patient lived!
Those dern caps were really tiny and fragile. All 4 of them came apart in pieces while desoldering, but I made sure that none of the pads on the board had shorts and no remnants touched any adjacent traces or pads.
I did need to bump up the temp on my iron to 850. At 750 it just didn't provide enough heat to keep two joints melted at the same time.
First hour or so of listening is enouraging. Will do some careful a/b listening later vs. my JT-75.
The XDR-F1 still sounds a tiny bit less extended than the JT-75 however the 75 is a bit weak in the bass so that might explain the difference in what I am hearing.
