Sorry i meant how did you hook them up in the final working paradise? Are you just including them in the on-board riaa or using an external riaa daughter board?
Btw for breaking them in it seems elaborate to build inverse riaa etc. Why not just hook up a music source and play (either with volume of the preamp all the way down or accept it sounds a bit odd)
I don't use Paradise board, but I think you can just solder in, just make sure green lead goes to lower impedance point.
Well you can break them in like that, but keep in mind that by doing that you will have little if no highs going through the caps while distortion for mids lows.
I don't really see a problem, but I prefer to break them in with real levels, just my preference and doesn't mean it won't work the other way.
... in customs
Dear Stefanoo,
like mkoerner: waiting for the caps to arrive.
The USPS tracking inform only informs: "customs clearance completed" (in Germany) on March 26th. Let's see.
On the other hand.... I have not yet started building the paradise boards ... so ... it's not too urgent for me.

Nobody got their caps yet?

Got mine today, just soldered it in. Will post my impression once ready

received my caps, and will solder in possibly tonight
niceeee!!! Please let me know your feedback as soon as you have listened to it!
Thankssss!!
I am soooo curious!!
Just had 3 hours on running the R3 with V-caps and my initial impression was very impressive. Tonally-more natural, more dimensional , and even more details. My original R3 was relaxed, nice and laidback . Now it is more exciting to listen to, instrument timber rendered wow. There was times i was quickly off my feet to check to make sure nothing loose but it was the finger guitar riffed noise that was playing- Diana Krall Live in PaRIS.
