"Of course, the amp certainly isn't anywhere near accurate with only one cap in each of these places, either."

This is what I was horrified to discover experimentally, and wished I hadn't, but now would rather "face it".

"That one cap-- regardless of quality, wants to form a resonant circuit--that is, it wants to tune-in to favor certain frequencies over others, based on the cap value and inductances and resistances in the associated circuit."

If this is true, then this supports either finding and implementing
a fix/band-aid, as described or other (?), and/or choosing a circuit that minimizes C's. I like Gary Pimm's idea:

Yes, I use 0.22uf to 10uf caps for PS bypass, not 0.001uf - Chris O 19:52:51 06/27/12 (1)

Furthermore, a cap value ( .68 micro farad in front of a choke STILL means it is choke loaded.~nT - Cleantimestream 10:38:29 07/06/12 (0)
