Re: Audio note caps reliablity

"with small handmade items like this variability is always greater, it is part the price one pays for quality I think."

Ummm, isn't "quality" a measure of reliability and part-to-part consistency? I would assume that you do not have six sigma capability..?

I'd rather have my capacitors be built by a robotic assembly line than human hands. More consistent, more reliable, less chance of defect and microphony. Admittedly, not as fashionable or as cool a back-story, but a cap is not supposed to make me think of an artisan laboring in a workshop, it's supposed to have a 1/wfC impedance and nothing else.
