I hate to ruin the aesthetics with some big caps air wired onto the board, but I guess it ought to be done. I've been thinking about that for the "educational builds". All I used for C7 was a Cerafine. I'm haven't gotten into boutique caps [yet]. |

Do you buy direct from Keystone? |

This is the achilles heal of this topolgy and the reason why the ultrapath is so clever, and why it performs so well. |
