You might want to use quotation marks to indicate what is quoted from another author's work, otherwise, to some people, it simply looks like something you may have typed.Additionally, including a link to the original article, like this, or the link below, would have been helpful.
Lastly, adding something like "Emphasis added by me" where you changed a sentence to all caps, which was not not how it was written in the article, would have been more intellectually honest.
Did I think you plagiarized it? Nope. Your subject line let me know that.
But do I think you did a sloppy job by not indicating where you were quoting, and by altering (via using all caps) the original article? I'm afraid I do.

Well 1973, I don't remotely see how this is a valid or useful criticism. Where it came from, as you stated, is in the subject line. Since one of the points I'm trying to make is that larger value caps than .01-.3ufs sound better, thus the highlight. Can't fathom what's the big deal about that. EMI noise reduction caps for this purpose are made up to at least 10uf for switching PS's and maybe like 2.2uf otherwise. If people would spend less time getting their jollies thinking that I know nothing, that I lie, that I steel other peoples words for my own benefit, that my post wasn't perfect and that I pull stuff out of my ass with no experience and stick a proper f-ing 2-5uf cap in the ac line and listen to it MAYBE someone would get a better sounding system. This is just a first order filter. Notice the crap I get and now notice that when I give it back in a way not liked it is deleted. Talk about being intellectually dishonest. Looks like Duster might have some pull. T456

Someone accused you of possible plagiarism. I attempted to show you how to avoid such accusations in the future by the use of some rudimentary writing skills, by way of learning to attribute quotes.
Since you see an attempt to be helpful only as useless criticism, don't worry, it won't happen again.
