RE: Comments about AC caps from The Great Capacitor Shootout (5.6-10uf)

Posted by Tweaker456 on May 22, 2017 at 10:49:57:
Lew, what I would like to present as not being hyperbolic IMHO, is the effect of multiple tweaks adding up to being yuge improvements. While one man's minor improvement is another man's hyperboli (sp?) a half dozen "minor" improvements add up to vast improvement. Like I've said before different people hear differently. I believe that high quality caps in power supply are a big difference. If I remember correctly you differ with that point of view. This is a tweaker's forum. I mean for all of my suggestions to come from personal listening experience or at the very least, logical extrapolation there of and are put forth to help people improve their sound. )Of course, along the way, they are really meant to gratify my gargantuan ego and are totally selfish.) Most tweaks I mention, especially with the kind of money many spend on this hobby, are inexpensive and easy to try. The resistance to buying a dollar fifty cap and taking a few minutes to listen so my head can swell a bit is beyond my understanding. T456
