I ordered three GE 5751 valves from Watford Valves. C17 of my Phono 3S is a Vishay (supplied with WDPSU3XL). What is missing to bring the Phono 3S up to full XL specs? Polypropylenes for C11/12? Anything else?

Ah, that's new, when I built mine there wasn't an XL Phono as I recall. So just those parts if you want that XL spec
You can tweak whatever you want though. I use those valves with Soniqs coupling caps on the ouput at C11/12, lowered the bass roll-off first coupling C1/2 with 0.1uF Soniqs, and fitted Oscon 220uF to the first stage cathode bypass position across R7/8. Of everything the bypass caps make the biggest difference. Drawing in post 1 of this thread.
