RE: Film Capacitor Orientation Question

"can I test resistance on either side of the cap to ground with a DVM to determine the lower impedance point? "

No. The impedance on the source side will be the output impedance of the stage. You can't just measure that with an ohm meter. On the destination side it will be the grid resistor so that can me measured with a meter.

In almost all cases the output impedance of the source side will be lower than the grid resistor value of the destination.
