RE: BGT bypass film caps - 7-cap (of the same value) shootout.

If you dremel off the epoxy and steel leads on the Wimas and attach copper leads using Wonder Solder Signature....you will get better sound. Also you want to orient the cap so the outside foil is to ground. You will need a scope and signal generator to check outside foil.

Even better sounding would be to use 3 .33 metalized Wima polyprops in parallel. .33 is the largest value they make in those tiny super sounding jobbies. Again, you want to remove the steel leads and attach copper leads and orient to correct direction. I use the modded Wimas everywhere....really great sounding.

The TDK looks like a stacked foil cap.....these are usually better than the typical rolled caps (all the others in your test) that have epoxy on the end and are more inductive.
