Thanks all. I'll hold back on the C2 (which is very expensive anyway) About S'regs; will I hear a difference adding more (I have 6 now)? and what about this issue of letting in the light with a transparent top? It used to be that all light was banished from entering the interior. I assumed it was to prevent external light from perturbing the laser read.
Well Ricardo, if you have long AC leads it'll not do much harm unless they're super-close to critical areas that could pick up noise from them. If you have long DC leads you're going to have a higher impedance supply, though I'm sure it's much less of a concern if you have a local decoupling cap and regulator. Those DC leads could also pick up and spread noise I would think.
Shep - the C2 over C1 would make a bigger difference over additional S Powers, but of course it also costs more! I think your players at a level where the big gains will only come with big changes.

Got no reply on my last post, could someone please help me out? Tnks!!
I used 3x 7808CT and 3x 7908CV
Btw: the player makes a strange sound when powering off. The laser slides back on the rail and there's a distorted sound over the speakers. Wasn't there before. Maybe that gives away a clue?

If it works it can't possibly be wired wrong. The sled moving is probably just because you've changed the power supplies and so things shut down in a different order to before. I've noticed some odd things like that, especially on my Arcam Alpha: when I switch off the laser smacks into the stops hard. Good job I only power it off when I leave the house for a few nights.
Tnks for the reply's. I used these for the power supply:
C803/804 Panasonic 10000UF, 35V TSHA
C813/814 Panasonic 22000UF, 16V TSUP (had to put one on a printboard to fit it in)
C815 Rubycon ZL 6800UF, 6.3V
C805/806 Panasonic FM 2200UF, 16V
Also changed the smoother caps to Rubycon ZL 330UF, 16V (+bypass caps)
Played them for +100 hours now but still the players sounds very flat (bass is quite good though). So I suspect I did something wrong with the driver regs. After I installed them the great sound was gone.
