Based on the many favorable reviews and comments of others on this forum (thank you folks), I made the plunge and installed 4 Ultra SS (in anodized black) under my Mcintosh MC2301 amplifiers. Once installed, I was a bit shocked by the degree of elevation to the sonic performance this mod has made. Perhaps even more shocking was the immediacy of the improvement - as others have mentioned, no break in time required. Suffice to say what I have observed so far with recordings I know well:

-bass has tightened up even further, with no discernible "bloom" at all
-soundstage expanded
-voices/vocals with improved "you are in the same room" kind of immediacy and articulation
-blacker sonic backgrounds
-little nuances in the recordings shine through
