Anybody tweaking by using the RCA caps?
I have thought about trying them myself, but have not yet. For some reason, I think I remember reading that on some equipment (like Atma-Sphere) you should not do this though... 
Atma-Sphere MA-1 filter cap upgrade

BAT VK-D5 SE CD player
I have the BAT VK-D5SE and have always enjoyed it immensely, but, last year I wondered how it might compare with the new latest & greatest (AMR, AR CD7, etc).... I still haven't compared it.But, I did swap out the 6H30 tubes for 6N6P tubes and...
