RE: Capacitor cooker / Break in?

There is so much hype around capacitors that it is downright scary, with regard to brand name, materials used to construct them, break-in, paralleling, bypassing, u-name-it. Every style and approach has its adherents. I share your distaste for oil caps. I was using some fancy expensive VTV silver foil/oil caps as bypass in my Atma-sphere amplifiers. After several months, three out of four caps in two monoblocks were grossly leaking their fluids and were leaky electrically as well. That was my last experiment with oil caps.
