Hello Bearded Fiddler (have you got a real name?)

Give it at least 100 hours of burn in before making your final conclusion. If after that you still feel unhappy and are presented with the same effect, swop out the wiring. Silver plated copper is well known for this effect in some applications which some like and others don't. I'd leave the caps alone as I very much doubt these will be responsible albeit that on their own they will make the sound more forward, detailed and revealing with better extension.

I hope that helps.

Regards,

Greg
