You can experiment with 15.1nF but it will increase highs and tighten the bass even more.
I would Let it settle for a while... Bass is still there but more detailed.
Did you decouple the psu lines just before the shunts ?
I used 1000uF Nichicon there and it gave the needed "woomph" I was missing when I reduced the 15.7nF cap.
Nichicon (the BIG can ones) are bass heavy.

Yes.
If you use a bass heavy cap in the shunts input you will notice an increase in subjective bass woomph.

Michael Percy has some big 2200uF Nichicon Super Through with golden pins.
I can not find more 1000uF anywhere.
Look at the caps near the shunts: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analogue-source/129126-simplistic-njfet-riaa-641.html#post2596495

I don't see any big lytic cap at the reg input, I suppose you use Obbligato film?
Look this 1.100uF 63V BHC slit foil DNM-designed Capacitors also you can get 10.000 T-Network suitable for mains PSU cap

I don't like 1000uF/63V Pana FC input in ehac shunt reg. possible reason is that I'm using BG 10.000uF/63V as mains filter caps PSU
Yes those are the caps.
Pana FC seems to do not go well with your smoothing BG´s.
Are you using an external PSU?

Hola Felipe,
Ami no me gusta los BG ! Cuestan mucho y los panasonics FM suenan mejor y cuestan menos.
I'm not a fan of BG's they are OK but I cost a lot and Panasonic FM's are to my ears the best. To bad they don't have all values and voltages I need ;(
Best regards,

Every cap has it´s signature... they all sound differently depending on the listener and the system used.
IMO the Nichicon are better for this case because of it´s bass lift.

Hi/Hola Jose
Pana FM only arrives till 50V & I need minimum 63V because voltage after reg is 55V
Do you have a very good combo: mains cap filter 10.000 or 15.000 Jensen 4 pole works very well in highs & Nichicon 2.200uF 100V Gold Tune works very well in lows😉 (I know because I have 8 caps 10.000 Gold Tune in my Borbely balanced preamp)

I know I have 4 pole 10000uF Jensen & sounds very good.
Have you ever ear KG Super Throught?
I suspect BHC slit foils 4 pole NTC network sounds very similar to 4 pole Jensen...

Hi RCruz,
I'm with you for 100%, regarding the Nichicon Bass lift, I love this cap for it's transparency (after break in) in the mid and low region !
