Reforming capacitors

Tech Square

Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

I have heard this term but do not understand what it means.
When caps sit for a long time dormant ,then charged,what is it that reforms? How long does the reforming take and if a coupling cap,is it going to sound better the more it's used?
What should one know when attempting to reform capacitors?
Thanks,
C.R.B.
