The effectiveness of bypass caps can be measured using an oscilloscope. If no measurable audio frequency voltage is developed across the existing cap, adding another cap will make no sonic difference. OTOH, if AC is present, its nature can be better defined with a spectrum analyzer. That may point to the specific requirements for additional bypassing.

Yes, I use 0.22uf to 10uf caps for PS bypass, not 0.001uf - Chris O 19:52:51 06/27/12 (1)

Furthermore, a cap value ( .68 micro farad in front of a choke STILL means it is choke loaded.~nT - Cleantimestream 10:38:29 07/06/12 (0)
