That's quite a collection of oil caps you've got there!  I retrofitted my DAC with two paper and oil Western caps (can style) from the 40s gotta love that vintage sound. You should try some Aerovox V161 caps in place of those spragues, my fav sound from the vintage styles.

Beautifully laid out. My pix above is from an early Sprague Advert...

looking at your equipment list, it would appear you're doing fine

Yeah, I figured that would be the response. :)  I'd still have to sell a couple of my headphones to find myself in that beautiful chair.  It looks so comfortable.  Maybe one day I'll decide to stop dreaming and just purchase one.

Haven't heard of those, the output caps in the 337 are huge though, 6mf or something like that if I remember correctly.  So it is hard to find something that will work and will fit in the chassis.  


Thanks for ur reply..i knowthey are big. :D

Please change it to velour pad right away :), best $10 that you could spend to improve a headphone significantly.

Living room head-fi/hifi corner. Currently (and I promised myself: for the whole of 2013... fingers crossed) consisting of a MacMini as source, HiFace to the Naim Supernait (acts as a DAC) with the rec-out into the Stax SRM-006T and Stax SR-404. Speakers are the lovely Wilson Benesch Arc's. 
Just picked up this Stax set yesterday and while the SR404 is not quite like how I remember the 404LE, it does get close so I'm actually very happy now. Just the leather pads and a bit of oil to stop the creaking and I'm set.
 

 
 
Workspace in the attic. Headphone out of the Macbook into an Epiphany built O2 and then through an 120Ω adapter into the Q701's. Nice and simple.
