All right, got a used X-Can along with my HD650 Headphones about a month ago and came across Grotto's thread on the upgrade of capacitors and diodes...and ordered it from Mike.  Great person, fast shipment and answered all my "dumb" questions.  Here's a link to Mike's Site: http://www.rock-grotto.co.uk/Neilxcan2.htm

So, here are some pictures first off:
