RE: Small IDHT tube cathode bypassing

What you write is a pile of baloney. You obviously are a theorist and you must NEVER build good revealing amps and actually LISTEN to the parts. Every film cap you buy sounds different than another brand, of the same exact specified value.

There are people who will spend up to and over $2,500 for a single film cap. Think its "perfect sounding" versus a 60 cent WIMA MKP series caps? Likely not. Think it sounds different? Of course it does !!

What you theorize and post has no relationship to reality. Reality is what you HEAR, the end-result when you play a good amp through a good audio system.

Audio performance, "how it sounds to you", is ALL that really matters. I am done discussing this with you. Post on, as much as you feel compelled to do so.
