No fault with Bench's cap tests?

Posted by Steve O on January 28, 2013 at 16:10:02:

Do you know what "parameter"' he is measuring in his scope traces? He refers to the less than perfect traces as symptomatic of "hysteresis" but of what? It seems to be voltage coef of cap but he never states this. If it is, is it sonically significant? The ceramic caps come out bad but what type did he test: NP0? Z5U? etc. You're not curious about his conclusion that the PIO caps that he happened to be evaluating for a client "test" and sound best. Or have his cap test pages changed since I last checked? Or did I miss it?
