Jim Pittsburgh:
very nice....  I'm sure that the new speaker positions give a more integrated sound too.

Reticuli:
What would you say was the benefit sonically of recapping the SM 23?

Apologies for the pictures not showing - the hosting vendor is holding them hostage unless I pay some ridiculous fee they never disclosed before offering me a free version. 

The benefits of recapping are little to none if your SM23 has working caps and you intend to replace them with normal caps.  However,  if you recap it with better film caps in the signal path, it really makes a difference, especially after some burn-in time.   In my case, more defined tighter bass and better separation of instruments.  Noise floor lowered a bit as well. 

I imagine one could continue the upgrade craze in many ways but had I kept mine the next step would have been better pots- Alps or something like that - to replace the stock cheapies.
