I'm in learning mode, and questions like yours are a great way to learn. The whole "single ended" Class A thing is very fuzzy to me.
Tom recommended a couple of books and I'm slogging thru them. I pick them up from time to time. But I have retention issues.

Randy,
Please bring your source and anything else you would like.
That's the fun part, tearing stuff apart and connecting cables. Listening to different stuff.
I am determined to be ready for the meet but I will post if the 300B won't make it.
Glad I just looked up at your thread.
My Bifrost is SPIDIF only. I posted on the meet thread if I should upgrade to USB and if folks will be walking around with USB sources.
My plan is to bring
The Beast
The Lyr and some old glass
2 x Bifrost, one with Uber, both SPDIF
2 x LCD2's Rev1 and Rev2
MacBook Pro and Mac Mini
[size=small]General question.[/size]
[size=small]I use the Schiit "PYST" interconnect cables for Lyr to Bifrost.[/size]
[size=small]They are too short for The Beast.[/size]
[size=small]I don't want to spend stupid money on interconnects.[/size]
[size=small]What is a good 3 foot value RCA interconnect cable?[/size]
After all this thread and posting, it had better sound good.
EDIT
Getting ahead of myself on Caps.
I can always order another Driver Board for experimentation. The components are not that expensive.
Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it.
Some capacitor reading

In the beginning, he also linked to other capacitor comparisons.
And I agree to get sound from your amp first before you worry about things like the best cap to use. It's just in looking at the rest of the design and components used, IMHO a solen cap is the weakest link .
