Overall sound improvements (personal views)
Silky, smoother treble.
Mid-range and voices were clearer and slightly less warm (due to the capacitors?).
Bass was also more well-controlled, solid and 'full-bodied'.

Comments by other listeners
"more detail" (did not detect this using my untrained ears)
"greater sense of presence" (did not know how to identify this)
"better 3D soundstaging" (especially with Eagles' Hell Freezes Over)
"a very airy and atmospheric presentation" (whatever that means!?)
"more attack and clout with dance/techno tracks" (not sure I agree)
