AES Six Pacs

I'm planning on picking up a pair of Six Pacs soon. The amps can be ordered with the following options and I'm wondering which would be worthwhile:

- Oil filled capactiors (Audio 1 or Jensen)
- xStream power cord
- WBT silver solder used throughout

I would be using the AE-3 MKII preamp and MiniMax phono upstream of the Six Pacs with a turntable being my primary source.

I had these in my system a long time ago, and wasn't super thrilled with them. A little flat, pretty rounded around the edges; definitely not the sound I expected.

How much did the Jensen cap and better transformer upgrade run?

Thanks for the clarification on the updates/upgrades. I would definitely want a pair with the beefier trans and Jensen caps.

I'm probably comparing apples to oranges here, but I'm wondering how they would compare with the Cary CAD120s?
