I can’t see any reason to pay for postage to Korea and back just for a simple component change. I too am not worried about the faceplate. According to Hans B, there is a sticker on the bottom of the upgraded unit with Neo written on it. Do SOtM give you one of these with the cap.?Quote:It is back! It took over three weeks to get to Korea, then only three days to return. The return courier, DHL, was slightly cheaper too.
I talked to a guy here in Sweden who sent his to Korea and it took 7 days in total with DHL.

I just ordered the capacitor as I think the price for the faceplate was a bit to much considering that it dont affect anything.
As I have the chance to listen to my Ultra right before I do the soldering I hope to be able to detect if the NEO version does sound different.
