I only owned one of the very first portable vCap docks made and the outputs were put on the back plate. The connector was all metal and really sturdy, I didn't see a problem. I guess this means I can't answer your question.
The SE edition made me calculate the possibility of a Teflon v-Cap group being plausible. I have heard that Vinnie recommends 2 to 4uF capacitors to avoid bass roll-off. 2.0uF caps would be approximately $630 after shipping for each person if 13 people got in on it. Thats a lot of dough. The 3.3uF capacitors would be $1000 after discount. It would have to be DIY to make the docks from unless we struck a deal with Ken and making these docks aren't a walk in the park. Maybe Ken could get a greater discount for being an "audiophile 'mod' professional". I have come to the conclusion that that day is a long ways away, I don't think I can afford a $1000 portable vCap dock when the OIMP already sounds so good for $350.
So what effect does adding small capacitance Teflon v-Caps in parallel hope to add? Wouldn't the OIMP in line already prevent you from getting the added resolution?
