OK, DJ. I am giving this pair of Elna S-II a few more hours at their current position this week. This is on the strength of your observation that they may take 300+ hours. Encouragingly, there does seem to be some improvement with the additional 50 hours or so. Yet, I can't wait for 300+ hours on just this pair when there are other phases. LOL, I have patience but not an extra lifetime to do this. I think I'll be close enough, though.
Interesting, I did have to backtrack from the OTHER cap. This is the one that replaced the WIMA that I damaged so...craftily.
The new WIMA arrived yesterday. By that time I was already unhappy with having used the other cap. I can't recall the brand but it is not audiophile stuff. It simply had behaved very well as a pinch hitter in another similar circuit.
Anyway, in went the new WIMA...and we're back in business. A time when the WIMA will be pitted against a better cap may come up later. Obviously, that position -- Pin 14, Vcom, on the analog section of PCM1793 -- is quite sensitive. So, it could explain Fab_flix's observation that a Mundorf MKP may improve things there.
