The volume pot can be wired to control the headphone amp volume as well as variable output via the rca's to a separate amp. Also he may not use the V-Caps and will explore the possibility of using PIO (paper in oil) Caps. All of this for a price to be determined but around $2k to $2.5K.

Hope I have it right.
Hi Miguel,

Which is better, the V-Cap or the PIO?
