Just acquired a Hafler DH-101 preamplifier - functional and very clean cosmetically. (I built one decades ago and still have fond memories of it.)
I'd like to a full restoration of this new baby. I have a PC-4 cap upgrade kit that's a few years old but never installed/used. I assume the unused caps are still good, but perhaps not?
I've seen a variety of options, all the way from turning it into a tube preamp using 6922s:

which seems like maybe overkill,
to Musical Designs' http://www.musicaldesign.com/MC_Haf_premod.html
down to the PC-4 kit.
Have also ordered a set of gold-plated RCA input jacks to replace those crappy aluminum ones
The PC-4 kit doesn't contain anything for the power supply, but assume newer and beefier caps wouldn't hurt.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
This will be driving a Hafler XL-280 amp in my "auxiliary" system.
Tnx
