No, we were not planning on making any more. It was designed around the Marinair transformer.

No. The output coupling cap (1000u/16V) is an ELNA RBD Series bipolar - one of their "specifically for audio" products, which sounds quite neutral to my ears. The power supply decoupling caps (220u/25V) are Panasonic FM Series, which I also think sound fairly neutral - more so than the rest of the Panasonic stuff. I've tried Black Gates too, and I don't see the need for them with caps like these at my disposal.

No such plans at the moment. I suppose if there was enough demand after this batch I would source more of the LI.31267, or have new ones made.
