RE: Small IDHT tube cathode bypassing

"There are people who will spend up to and over $2,500 for a single film cap."
They are fools.
If they want to understand what is going on, they could put an oscilloscope across the capacitor, and look at the audio signal. If it is not negligible, they could either bypass the capacitor with another one that corrects the deficiencies, or they could chuck out the original one and get another. Any way it is done, the solution costs a few dollars, not thousands.
