Regarding the large Teflon caps, please note that when Audio Research responded, they did mention the following which sounds like a note to themselves than to me.

"Photo shows he has the older Teflon coupling caps that are replaced under the ECN. Suggest factory service, if possible, so we can replace these failure-prone caps."

So you may want to take that under advisement.
