RE: Bypass caps are one of the most misunderstood components in audio.

I refuse to do it for fear of introducing some form of sonic smearing of the signal. That's something we can't measure, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. :)

That's always been my fear but I know there are way's to do it but you would have to do it with equal value caps of the same brand,value,and type.
It is very hard to measure specs under dynamic conditions because the amp or preamp is constantly changing in the sweep pattern..A good spectrum analyzer can do some of it, but interpreting what it is telling us beyond the fundamentals can be challenging..Bottom line,don't bypass signal caps.
