Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes?
Magfan, I think the arthritic feeling comes from CaF2 precipitating in the calcium channels of the neurons. What is left over of the HF trades up the activity chart until it bonds into an insoluable compound, as found in the bones. As you say.All ... 
Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?
Analogue. Do the mathematics:By the Fourier Theorem, we must only consider sine waves. A sine wave must be sampled 250 times to achieve 5% RMS distortion or less (the bear is when they cross zero, if I remember my simulations correctly). Undamaged... 
What's your profession? Age?
Retired, 67. Last posting was research biostatistician. System worth $50,000 plus the electronics, which are home brew.Beg to differ, Southern. My hearing is down 6 dB at 12KHz, and I can clearly differentiate VCap and RelCap teflons, and brands o...

Of course you are correct, Rodman. No component.But what if you are servicing something with a teflon-insulated wire connected to a lug, insulated right to the joint? And if the factory used high temperature solder? Then the teflon might get hot, ... 
Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes?
A note of caution from an old fogie.270 C and teflon do not mix well. As I understand it, teflon begins to decompose and form HF, a very bad chemical. HF symptoms can develop over 24-48 hours, which makes it particularly insidious. In my experienc... 
Quad ESL Cap mods
My first Quad Mod was along the lines you suggest, Tsushima1. I simply removed the existing lines from the WBT connectors and insulated the ends. Then I routed new lines (15 AWG silver coated copper) from the connectors to the downstream side of t...

Hello Johnsonwu. I doubled the Duelunds to get the 20W. 
Quad ESL Cap mods
Sorry to be tardy - I just found this thread.I started modding my 2805 and 2905 nearly two years ago. First I messed about with caps and resistors - metallized poly all sounded the same; the big difference came with using more film and foil. When ...
