All caps ('lytic that is) have a resonant frequency at which they electrically drop out of curcuit. In order to prevent this the 'lytic should be bypassed using a small NON-INDUCTIVE cap such as Silver Mica, stacked film, or ceramic in descending order of performance. This bypass cap then shunts the very high frequencys to ground, preventing the 'lytic from reaching it's resonant frequency. In my experience a bypass cap much exceeding 0.01 uF begins to impinge on the audio frequencys with detremental affect. Hosfelt Electronics (www.hosfelt.com) is an excellent source for SM's at very reasonable prices.Happy Bypassing !
