Excellent review of CAPACITORS Must read

The author is a very good friend of mine. I'm not sure why his name is not used in the article; he's only referred to in references like "him", etc. I'll ask him if he wanted things this way, or if it's OK for me to mention his name here on Audiogon.

Again, as he states, one should take the evaluation in the context it was performed - in a high end audio preamplifier. The capacitors used in other applications (such as a loudspeaker crossover) can yield different results.

Overall, I must state the obvious - it's probably the definitive guide to capacitors put forth in the hobby. He certainly deserves all the credit we can give him - BRAVO!!!

I must apologize for not submitting this post sooner, but I spoke to my friend in regards to this thread Sunday, and the fact that his name does not appear in this article was his choosing. He is a really busy person, and simply did not want the headaches associated with dealing with others suffering audiophilia nervosa.

On a personal level, he is definitely not the "mad scientist" type; but one always attracted by the road less traveled. Often, he'll complain that whatever his most recent obsession was (and looked terrific on paper) didn't turn out the way he hoped. That being said, I consistently tell him to view these experiences as positive ones, where his perspective has been broadened, as well as the depth of his knowledge and experience.
