Thanks TartanB for the info...very helpful! That is a reasonable price indeed. Also interesting that you noticed no discernible difference - certainly appears contrary to the general view - but the only ears and opinion that count are your own!

Farad don't appear to do a connector that is compatible with the 218, so I'm not sure it is possible to upgrade the PSU without swapping out the connector (unless I have that wrong?). To be able to test/audition the Farad before tweaking the connector would obviously be the ideal scenario...
