Soften the signal in any way, shape or form-- TRASH IT!
"Warmer" sounding? TRASH IT!
"provides damping"? TRASH THE !@#$!@#$!@#$!@# THING!
"Sterile and sharp"? COULD BE your electronics, not the
caps, or it could be CHEAP capacitor construction.....
These are all unusable (for music) characteristics,
and is why people lust after better/boutique capacitors.
Fortunately, mostly the Germans are finally mass-producing
some lesser-cost items that actually work..... and
do THE WHOLE THING (musically) somewhat right...
Forget about NOS or Military unless you intend to leave-out
parts of music in an attempt to please yourself (or others)
rather than have the real thing musically.
