Woo Audio 5 question

Thread Starter 

I'm just wondering....

 

Disregarding the tube upgrades, how much do the offered upgrades affect the sound of the Woo Audio 5?  Which upgrades have the greatest impact on the sound?  I'm aware probably very few people have heard the amp in various upgrade incarnations, but I am just curious if maybe some people know what these various upgrades do for the sound quality"

  • Jensen voltage filtering caps, 220uf/450V
  • Blackgate bypass (6SN7 cathode) caps, 220uf/160V
  • Blackgate bypass (6SN7 cathode) caps, 220uf/16V
  • Blackgate bypass (300B cathode) caps, 470uf/160V
  • Mills load resistors (300B), 750 ohms, 50W

Post this question in the Woo owners thread, I know at least couple owner have the upgrade.  The OP Dannie01 is currently doing the upgrade himself, he may be able to tell you the difference.
