What does that word mean in the context of capacitors and how they sound?
I have heard and read many descriptions of polystyrene "sound" as being too "polished", one of the other words you choose to describe teflons. This usually comes from those who prefer PIO capacitors. I like both types (styrene and teflon) to the exclusion of all others (especially PIO), when it comes to coupling capacitors, so I don't necessarily disagree with you, except that I would place the best teflon capacitors ahead of polystyrenes. In values above 0.47uF I would usually go with styrenes to save money, although higher value styrenes in voltages above 200V are now very scarce.
