I'm not sure, I would like to think that it contributes positively, surely it does. The slightly low voltage output may be helpful here also, pushing the "pot" resistance up, easing source impedance constraints just a bit? Still drives these buffers in parallel with no problem at all (110k input). This pre hides nothing, tremendous resolution, and is showing me weaknesses with the rest of my system, poor source mainly which will get attention at some point. Another area of interest, different music / production technique is more "contrasted" than before. Hard to explain but I think it's another clue that the system has taken another step or two up, and is "getting out of the way". Does this make sense?

Just to clarify, is bypassing the lytic better or replacing with a MKP of film cap? Is the capacitance important? Can solder to the ends of the LED chain instead of the lytic position?
You mentioned it doesn't sound its best until a couple of hours, why is this so? I'm not really in favour of leaving it on 100%, so any way to avoid this? Esp since bumping up the current to over 200ma will also reap benefits!
I don't think I am understanding your question, a way to avoid what? burn-in and reforming of capacitors?You mentioned it doesn't sound its best until a couple of hours, why is this so?

Replacing is purer than bypassing. To the ends of chain is better if no lytic is present. 0.22-1uF if alone, 10nF-22nF if a lytic bypass.
I could think of scenarios, but it will be pseudo science since I got no data. It seems to sound better later from power on to me and other people. That is the loose idea. Check for yourself, maybe its other things in our chains too.

I talked about the orange LED at post #1295. It's not a necessary component of the LDR circuit. Just a personal touch kind of thing I came up with, gives the front panel a balanced but interesting contrast I think. And a friendly reminder to run the volume at half for a long, productive life of the LDR's when in "standby" mode.
Front LED's are run by an 8V regulator, with appropriate dropping resistors of course.

-First, short the inputs to ground and measure the outputs. Set your DMM to mv AC, and you should see it virtually zero. Then on mv DC you should see no more than 5mv or so. Try rotating you volume control to see if it changes
-Second, connect your source to it, and check the same things. Values should stay more or less the same.
-Third, hook up some cheap speakers to the amp before hooking your expensive ones.

First very quick measurements are: PS is +10.86vdc and -10.17vdc. DC offset on the outputs appears to be .2mV and 1.0mV. I'll do the rest tomorrow.

What about using TO-92 clip-on heatsink? like one of these:
