MKIII Resistors (Amtrans Carbon Film AMRG Series)
Made to take the place of the legendary Riken Ohm Carbon Film resistors, these are simply the best sounding resistors you can put in the MKIII. These are non-magnetic, encapsulated in a black anodized aluminium case, potted in a highly thermally conductive resin, brass end caps, and have gold-plated oxygen-free copper leads.
NOTE: subject to availability, may require additional lead time to acquire these components.

Capacitor Options for the MKIII
MKIII Capacitors (Amtrans AMCS "Golden SQ")
Incredible classic sounding caps for the MKIII. Aluminum Foil Paper in Squalane Oil. Imported from Japan! (.22uF & .1uF @ 630V / Aluminum Foil Paper Oil)
$200.00 (per amplifier)
Amtrans AMCS "Golden SQ"
MKIII Capacitors (V-Cap ODAM)
V-Cap ODAM Reference Grade Capacitors (Oil Damped Advanced Metalized) A serious upgrade, these are a "top-of-the-line" capacitor offering for the MKIII. (.1 and .22uF @ 630V / Aluminum Foil Paper Oil) . Made in USA
"realistic timbre/textures, tremendous instrument separation, remarkable layering and imaging, accurate leading edges of instrument notes, incredible low-end slam/thrust, and the absence of any discernible sonic imprint"
$180.00 (per amplifier)
V-Cap ODAM
MKIII Capacitors (V-Cap CuTF Copper Foil and Fluoropolymer Film Audio Capacitors )
Way more than a "top-of-the-line" capacitor offering for the ST-70. The V-Cap CuTF (Copper Foil Fluoropolymer Film) series capacitor was inspired by Chris VenHaus's obsession to tap into that special "magic" found in the soul of tube driven music. Too often, inadequate quality of passive components strip the color from the performance, or add colorations of their own. The Elite series caps from V-Cap will transport you to new levels of "audio perfection".
The (4) .1uF coupling caps are V-Cap CuTF, the (2) .047uF bypass caps are V-Cap TONE (Copper Foil in Oil). Made in USA.
