General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

No, BUT

1. Makers of good quality moderately priced tube gear (Quicksilver and deHavilland come to mind) pick very good industrial grade parts to go with a very well thought out and executed circuit and replacing even key parts like coupling caps with much more expensive, audio grade parts often does not yield much in the way of sonic improvements.
2. Commercial modders often throw the bathwater in with the baby and change of a lot of parts that cost a lot, but don't yield as much in the way of sonic improvement as much fewer key parts.
3. DIYers - some of whom would mod a light bulb for the fun of it - don't really factor in the opportunity cost of their labor and all the skills they have acquired (think of all that built up human capital) when they talk about mods to dumbos like me.
