If you leave capacitor leads exposed like in CAvanessa's dock, do you need to worry about signal interference?
You do, but at the length she left it, I still wouldn't worry about it. [What with all the vampires she's using, she has bigger things to worry about, like static buildup and odd looks on the bus.]
And KoKoKrunch, congrats on being the 500th [post]. [And congrats to powertoold for having the 500th reply.] Let's keep a good thing going.

I think they would look at VVS more than they would look at me Althugh his music would sound so good that he would be too phased out to notice.
My "rig" is for home use only. The PK3/Nano are for portable use.
BTW how should I Prevent signal distortion in my cap? Shorten the leads? Elecctrical tape the leads?

There probably isn't any noticeable interference from that set up.. electrical tape wouldn't make a difference though, not to an electromagnetic field. the best thing you could do is orient the wires so they're parallel as little as possible, like one orientated along a y axis, another along an x axis.. though honestly, these voltages at these frequencies with that much space isn't too much of a concern.. I'd waste my time on other stuff. (I'm assuming the recommendation to remove the unused pins in the dock are to minimize higher frequency interference from the data pins, etc.. distortion is another issue, and I wouldn't worry too much about it now either.. (it would be on the line of using inductors in parallel to your outputs to balance phase distortion, for instance..)..
Arghh - my Nano randomly freezes! It's so irritating as it froze three times today while I'm burning-in the BGs. I don't think it's the diyMod's fault as google shows that this is a common problem.
Does anyone else have this problem?
After reading some V-cap dock impressions, I have decided to sell the remainder of my BG caps and supplies to get some Soniccaps (hey, I'm a poor graduate student. I can't afford the V-caps). I will enclose the caps in a plastic enclosure from Radioshack or a larger mint-tin I have. No fancy stuff here

i think i had the same freeze problem as you guys...but there's a chance to fix this problem and i already downgrade the software to version 1.0 myself (do on my Mac)...i'll report if i found any problem like on version 1.3.1...

Goodluck !
note:
here's a screenshot for my ipod that detected on iTunes after downgrading the software...
Reading around quickly, the recommendation seems to be to just reset the iPod. Toggle the hold, reset it by holding the menu and select buttons. They also say restoring the iPod can help. Does anyone else have this recurring problem? Mine seems to have gone away. Actually it wasn't freezing on me, it just kept pausing. Apple has "The 5 Rs for iPods": Reset, retry, restart, reinstall, restore. Follow the link for more information.

Thanks for the link, pcyl. That seems like a pretty safe source to get your batteries from if eBay doesn't work out. I find the prices to be quite more expensive than eBay, but I added it to the original post anyway. Someone will find it helpful.
but this battery supply with one year warrent from the date of purchase
