I took the Onk apart earlier today, removed the power supply capacitors and tested them in an RC circuit with my buddy's signal generator and scope. Even with the tolerance factored in, they were all way low. I replaced them with Nichicon caps I tested and bought from my buddy. The Onk mated to my M100s now exceeds the peak reached by the Pioneer/M5 pairing! That's because the Pioneer is hitting its limits.

Besides the peaks, it sounds a lot better. I still like the sound of the Pioneer better but that's because Air Studios fudged with it. I'm now toying with the idea of getting Electronic Craftsmen to build me a toroidal transformer for the Onk.

Can't wait to get the ADAs in here!
