the original caps...Jamicon and G-Luxon.....is too bad for audio use......

ELNA Cerafine cpas.....is the worst of HiFi caps, the better ones r WIMA, Solen, Rifa..........

But it is cheap enough

also i replaced the original ST4558c op-amp to OPA2132u

that's sure

especially the sound in high frequency, 4558 + Jamicon is very high-pitched, while 2132u + ELNA sounds much more natural

the woof sound of original A1 is thin and weak, and after replacing these parts it sounds much better

Yes it would. You know, there are always ways to improve the purity of sound But i would imagine that capacitors affect the sound quality much more in the high-voltage parts of the setup, like in the amp/crossovers section. And Audigy 2 sounds quite good anyway.
