I am told by a well known amp designer not to use PIO because frequent leakage problems can throw the bias off and create problems. He thinks they are rather unreliable. Does this pertain, IYO, mostly to older caps or particular caps as opposed to newer or maybe the Russian K40Y's?? Thanks, Tweaker
