vibro champ volume drop

hello!
I've put new electrolytic caps including the cap can and when I tried vibrato the overall volume of the amp dropped a bit. tried to change the vibrato and preamp tube but no luck. here's the sound sample, hope you'll hear the difference - http://www.box.net/shared/nz5r23uch2

and this is the cap kit I bought...

any thoughts what it might be?

Mine has a slight volume drop when the Vibrato is kicked in. I think thats common with these amps. I'm not aware of a "fix", but there are plenty of VC owners/gurus on this forum so someone else will chime in.

I had a lot of VC's I've never noticed it.

Is it more pronounced live rather than the mp3?

Mine has a volume drop when I use the vibrato. I have read in numerous threads that this is common with the amps.
