to long cap leads is that you can pick up RF contamination and other EMI variables. The cap can resonate if not secured to something and that is a debate that I enjoy discussing but I don't know if it boils down to anything more than personal preference and OCD logic.

I am going to get the Caps on the C2 much closer soon. I have the parts and now just need to do some drilling and fitment.

The Caps should all be within a couple inches when I am done with them. I will solder the leads to the top aspect of the board, twist and shield the wires and then it will look a lot cleaner.

While I don't like the big piggy job on my Clarinet. I wanted to make sure it sounded right before doing a lot of sub board builds to clean it all up.

I just love the sound of this pre amp. It has been an eye openner to me about how inexpensively you can build an excellent circuit. Kudos to Jim Hagerman's designs.
