In Reply to: RE: Do russian teflon capacitors lack musicality? posted by vbenonisen on February 15, 2017 at 13:59:47
You equate "musicality" to a particular, probably warmer, sound. Others equate "musicality" to absolute clarity.
Given that, are you unsure of what you hear and looking for confirmation of your preferences as both good and part of the majority, or are you trying to alter the preferences of others?

To Chip647 I have to add that I do NOT equate musicality to a warmer sound. That's not what this is about at all. It's about a lack of foot-tapping/airconducting flow in the music.
And no, I do not seek to alter the preference of others. Why should I?
Here's a test.
I know it doesn't answer everything (to start with there's no DC across the cap) but it's a worth while test none the less.
Place the cap under test between the output of your preamp and the input of your power amp with a switch that shorts across it.
(Make sure the knee of the filter is completely out of the audio band.)
To my way of thinking, when you find a cap where you can't tell when it's in circuit vs. out of circuit that's a good cap.
The more a cap effects the sound (even if you like the effect) the worse that cap is (technically speaking).
