☈ Best Capacitors for Audio 2013 ☈

I have found that caps have different sounds. And the sound you get depends on several issues. Additionally, I have found that if you count the number of capacitors inline with the signal, you will find that the less capacitors have the more the influence they have with the sound. I have only two caps in the signal path (this is excluding those in the power supplies). One is in the output of the CD/DVD player while the other capacitor is on in the tube amps. If you change either of these capacitors it will give you a different effect on the final sound. If you have many capacitors, changing one may not have a profound change in the sound. However, I have modded many car stereos all of which use cheap electo types for signal passing and changing them all to film types will improve the sound greatly. I have experimented with scores of capacitors in my system and some capacitors will sound similar, but from top to bottom on the capacitor scale you will find that sound differences. The
