Yes... Actually, I have never used electrolytics.

I have only tried two types, both from the same manufacturer, and they sound rather different in ways I did not expect. Although I don't share the Dr's views WRT multiple bypasses of various types, based on my experience I do believe cap differences are significantly audible in the cathode circuit.

I am starting to question whether poly Al metalised foil can present music in a way that seems natural to me. I have a couple of Clarity MRs set aside for my next build, but am curious to try modern PIO instead. I'll be trying a few things in my next build. I really have to get moving on it, BTW.

Cheers,
91.
