I know this is a bit off-topic but within the same manufacturer ...I see some (nasty, to me anyway) Solen caps in the (outputs, I assume, of the) preamp section of the Sphinx (and some 'orange drops' or something in the interstage positions?).
I would think some nicer caps here would improve the sonics too ... V-cap interstage and Mundorf outputs seems like a good bet ...
I've recommended the Sphinx to someone in another forum in the $1000-1500 range for an integrated ... without the remote, some upgraded caps would likely hit the top of that range, even at cost, but oh well ...
I just have a possibly irrational gut reaction to Solen caps, they seem bright and unmusical in a couple applications I have tried.
