Hi Walt,
I refer you to my blog post.
TL;DR is the change was prompted by both cost and availability issues with Vishay supplies at Mouser. Like you I could convince myself that the Dale/Vishay were a nice sounding resistor, but I cannot rationalize them being any better than the KOA Speer.

RJM understood. When everything is assembled kit will prove to C3 and capacitor PIO. I have seen on Ebay. You've told me that shopping on Ebay are not safe quality. But where I live I have no other way to shop online.
If anyone can recommend me to buy 2.2uF capacitor PIO secure quality, I appreciate it. (If I keep costs argregando I think at the end get to the value of a Phonocube 4712)
Regards.

I don't recall saying that. Ebay requires ... due diligence, and a willingness to accept that things will go wrong from time to time no matter what.
For boutique audio components partsconnexion is a safer bet though.
2u2F in MKP is small and affordable.
You don't need to go to exotic types.
FKP will be bigger and more expensive, but in my opinion is as far as one needs to go for a quality signal passing capacitor.
BUT most importantly make sure the capacitance VALUE is selected to PASS all the audio signal.

Hello AndrewT. The kit comes with a 2.2 uF axial tubular MPT, Audiocap Rapport.
My desire is to replace K75-10 2.2 uF.

You can improve performance ?.
It is not obsession, but once I've invested in this kit, but all accessories (boxes, toroidal; connectors; costs of shipment, etc, which together come close to the cost of a Musical Fidelity - V90-LPS or PRO-JECT - PHONO BOX S), added to the good reputation it has, I would like to get the most performance possible and I'm sure will exceed those mentioned ..
I measured the resistors and capacitors (Fluke) and really both channels are matched and very close to the circuit values.
I will take time but it will be in Show (ha ha ha). Regards.

I have a few 3-4) Russian PIO OTK K73-16, 160V, 2.2uf 5% that I'd be happy to send you if you think that they'd be a step up. I'm using them in a Phonoclone and think they are fine. No charge unless shipping from the US is outrageous.
I was simply saying that people who build their own audio (and use DIYAudio) seem to be very generous.
¿Hablas espanol? Si no me comprendes, ni importa. Solamente dije que la gente aqui son muy generoso. Wntrmute2 te ofrece los capacitors gratis.
Hello.It appears again, this time to show progress. The phono stage already completed. The lack PSU aluminum box, which thanks to this blessed country of the third world (mine), is not yet available in the mail (The purchase was !!!!!!!!! 01/09/2015) .
Greetings and then i will tell you how it sounds. Joseph.
Sorry but not up photos. A pity
