In Reply to: Initial Report, Film Cap 180 degree orientation - Employing new-style Clip Leads posted by drlowmu on August 18, 2016 at 08:24:26:
It is possible that 5/6 were randomly the "wrong" way round, but not probable. That high a proportion suggests that there may be some other factor unaccounted for.
Could capacitor sound "deteriorate" due to current passing through in a certain direction over time? Is this part of what we hear with "break-in" - a smoothing of sonic presentation? You have not stated what the improvement with reorientation was so I won't extrapolate further.
Maybe in a few months' time you could re-test both orientations and let us know whether the the ideal orientation holds. If the caps need to be re-oriented, perhaps you could then test at ever-decreasing intervals until you have identified the ideal re-orientation time-period, for the caps you use, in your circuit. I wonder if all the caps are the same or would require different reorientation periods.
The mind boggles.
Cheers,
