About six weeks ago I put Magnequest EXO-45 transformers and BCP-15
extralinear chokes (all M6 cores) in my standard Bottlehead Sex Amp.
I also replaced the .1 ufd. interstage coupling cap with V-caps. I
think I've got enough hours on it now, and it sounds wonderful on
my Lowther Medallion IIs (15 ohm PM2Cs). Richer mids and some real
bass, though it naturally doesn't go deep. My combination of mods
made the cap change largely unobservable, of course, but the total
result is sure there.

I'm not about to spend the bucks it would take to replace the parafeed
cap (1 ufd.) with a V-cap. I'll try and Auricap or a motor run (if I
can find a 1 ufd. motor run) there in a few months.
