Not sure what that last bit means...

Do you cut off an inch or two of component lead so you can solder another wire to the part? I believe the extra solder joint would affect sonics more than an extra inch of wire. Most quality components have copper leads. What wire is so superior that you can detect a difference of a few inches?

Besides, soldering to a "nub" on a capacitor could lead to destruction of the cap. Even an inch or two of lead will dissipate a lot of heat before it gets to sensitive dielectric layers.

Peace,
