Behold the utter nonsense of the capacitor snob.

Fuck off arsehole.

are you retarded son? drive web traffic to it? It's bullshit.

Just talking bad about it doesn't change the fact that you're obviously advertising it.

he's not selling them, he describing them like they are wine or bear.
<These caps have a lean, clinical brightness to them and at the same time lack transparency. A form of artificial clarity is created by means of a treble glare in the top end - at least they don't have a loudness effect. They work well in opening-up a dull, lifeless speaker but that's about it.These caps have a lean, clinical brightness to them and at the same time lack transparency.

We're talking about the website not the caps you dumbass.
You are an obvious shill.

- whatever else he practises, inbetween extensive & wide ranging tests of each cap for several months (x44 caps) - it certainly isn't irony.
It's funny and saddish because his gibberish is kinda based on not only true but empirically verifiable facts.
I know a bit about capacitors and their uses in higher frequency situations (I'm talking about >10mhz).
I mean, you can actually MEASURE the non linearities and parasitics of capacitors.
It's sad when someone like this guy seems to know something about it and then completely omits to simply ballpark the gains of using these expensive kinds of components in a audio frequency product.
It's bullshit to the limit but I have to admit - the caps look fucking stylish. I'd totally buy some just for the looks if they weren't total scam.

Actually, things like glare, clarity, and brightness are technical terms...that said
>A higher rating does not automatically mean that one capacitor is better than another. A hi-fi system is a very complex sum of many variables, a capacitor is only one part of that total, so depending on implementation things may vary a little. On the other hand you can be assured that capacitor A with a 6 point rating won't "beat" capacitor B with a 10 point rating.
>higher rating doesn't mean better
>higher rating definitely means better
Fuck off with the doublespeak guy. Take a stand.
>dialectric
Stopped reading there.
Or at least I wish I did. Jesus; I kind of feel bad for this guy if he really did sit down and listen to the same shit over and over again with different capacitors thinking it sounds different.

fuck
off

and you obviously suck dick.

That's the point, it's all audiophool bullshit. Subjective descriptions with no actual proof and nothing repeatable.
It's the same with describing wine or beer.
Show me some side by side comparisons using oscilloscopes and frequency generators.
describing a capacitor as sounding neutral, bright or whatever means nothing.
it's as bad as oxygen free speaker wire.
There's no difference between oxygen free speaker wire and the sound you get by connecting your speakers with old coat hangers (which someone actually tested).

Actually I happen to be doing that right now.
That doesn't make my post any less valid though.

sucking dick and surfing 4chan... pics or it didn't happen.
>>945772
Oh it was an hour or two ago, sorry couldn't get pics.
Next time I'll check back sooner senpai.
