If you want to tell me who you are we can continue this conversation privately. I don't like your tone and you seem less interested in finding out why I do what I do than defending your own position, which appears to be only you can define what close tolerances are and might be approppriate.Some caps do change value with ambient temperature, and you can also influence their value by squeezing them--a piezoelectric effect. The caps I use are so enormous holding them in my hand has no effect on value.
I have removed capacitors from 15 year old speakers which still have the original tested value marked upon them. They check out on the nose.
I am well aware of the bypass effect of the trim caps. You can stop speaking to me as if I were some amateur.
I note you continue to cloak yourself in anonymity. I am beginning to understand why.

I thought everybody knew who Dr.J was.You can click his name or the letter (D) next to it to get his web site information.
I believe you can even find his full name listed at the bottom of his main page.
Everyone knows who Dr.J is and I would assume Brian knows. If he doesn't, he should remember his name from this point on. Dr.J is the guy who schooled Brian on capacitors. He should be thankful to the good doctor for the free lesson.
Just had a nice conversation with Dr J on the phone. He seems a fine fellow; he's sending me some sample caps. Everything's wonderful again. My apologies to all.
