Re: Capacitors in Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier

You were presented with very clear evidence, not anecdotes - Did you read the link with the well presented data? Why is that data not good enough? Do you see errors in the way the tests were conducted?
That cap thread is mostly talking about low signal voltages and mostly not talking about low class ceramics or very large signal voltage swings. Your data seems to be low level too and gets a result i would expect and agree with, but that's not what we're talking about here, right?
By gritty texture, what was intended to mean was the harmonics created, because of the aforementioned nonlinearities. I'm open to suggestions on how you would better describe the sound that a cap changing value dependent on frequency and signal level makes... Apologies for using laymans terms.
I'm all for debunking cork sniffers with their capacitor choices, i cant hear any difference between a wima, sozo, mustard, panasonic etc film cap.
But a low class ceramics in certain positions vs film is quite different. The original question was why did Mesa use low class ceramic caps in that position, and the reason is because in that position they have a different sound to the poly film caps they use elsewhere. You haven't been able to provide any evidence to the contrary so just be happy with whatever you want to believe is as i dont know why i'm bothering to reply at this point
