I know this has been discussed at some length--and by the looks of my corsair II several mods have been made--including a 16v 1000uF electrolytic capacitor across one of the connector pins. 

I can actually live with the popping to some extent but what I find annoying is the S-meter that seems very non-responsive...it seems to just rise up to a certain level and then just fall off as opposed to undulating with the signal...perhaps a minor point, but I work a lot of low signal  level cw and enjoy experimenting with antennas...often the change in S-meter is the only indication to determine what is working better. I also like to watch the S-meter move about with the signal strength. Is the cap not discharging fast enough?

If anyone has some thoughts on or off list I would welcome same.

kind regards,
