Are the points where those 3 cap wires are soldered to on the board already? Or did you kind of rig it up to contact the old caps.

Great Mod Bigbear

And about the cabling, it's all about training the ear

I mean my bro can't hear the difference between MP3 and SACD.

And i don't even wanna listen if it's a lossy format.

Good cables keep distortion at reasonable levels + damping factor maintains it's purpose (although good connections will make a bigger difference)

Maybe a high end / high pass filter will make the satellites sound better?

Having a lower gauge cable conncted to a speaker with miniscule tinsle leads is the most piontess thing to do, your trying to get all that power you've created only to get kicked back by the tinsle leads.

But I suppose if you dont over do it it should be worth it

There's an old saying that goes: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything".
