RE: facing the over generalization

You might have a very specific problem that should not be extrapolated to all caps. That last cap is, of course, in the signal path. Your problem may be more due to the specific motor run cap that you have used rather than oil caps in general. If your motor runs are old nos, been stored in temp extremes, etc. they will not perform well. Try a new ASC motor run; I have not found them to roll off the highs at all. I like Solens as well. Oh, and there is nothing wrong with putting in a nice 1 to 5 uf bypass cap on that last cap.
