Ok, some more questions regarding parts:
1) Which specific polystyrene caps do you recommend (bent and other)? What are the required parameters?
2) The 90 deg bent cap does not need to be matched, does it? Does it make sense to swap this in when leaving the original WIMA caps in place instead of the polystyrene caps which require matching?
3) Is the CGW CY06C221J the right glass cap to go for? You used a 220pF CGW cap, but wrote the linked 200pF CGW cap also works for this purpose. What are the limits to pick a cap within?
4) If my interpretation of the WIMA cap printing is correct, you used MKP2C031501H00JSSD caps (63VDC/40VAC), but you posted a link to MKP2D031501H00JSSD caps (100VDC/63VAC). The latter are much easier to find. Will they also work for this purpose or will they sound differently?
5) Does anyone know a good alternative to Accutek "4 Pin SOJ Crystal to 4 Pin (14 Pin Full Size) 300 MIL DIP with Site for Bypass Capacitor" (AK14D300-XTAL-04SOJ-BY) which was mentioned in another thread on head-fi (see post #1479)?
1)Siemens styroflex
2)It has to be matched to about 2% to avoid any perceptible channel imbalance
3)Anything between 200 - 1000pF will do, stick to the caps that fit the 5mm footprint and avoid the giant oversized audiophile stuff.
4)The substitute will work and is a lot easier to find.
5)You can also use the Twisted Pear Rhea boards, they are 50% more expensive
