I give a random selection of quotations, but before doing so I give his most fundamental finding, which is that .... drum roll .... dielectric absorption is the primary factor producing *easily measurable* capacitor distortion. Alas, the golden ears have known this for years without resort to or the need for measurements, but how nice now to have measured results now saying so, especially from a once-capacitor design engineer who had to reverse his long held view ("scientific," no doubt, especially when imposed on others) that capacitors are not much different one from another and that DA has little to do with AC-coupling signal integrity etc." -- alekz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alekz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42388 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
