Members jumpwin Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 What a massive difference! I always assumed it was hyperbole and snake oil. you have proven me wrong! thank you. Now, where do I get me some black beauties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, where do I get me some black beauties?The difference there is probably values more than anything else. Still cool as hell. Thanks OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wyatt Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet. Did you measure the exact capacitance of each cap? Those caps have a 20% tolerance, which can easily be large enough to have an audible tone difference from cap to cap, regardless of construction. Plus, all those old Cornell and Spragues often turn out to have drifted way out of tolerance, I've commonly found old .05uF caps in amps that measure as much as .5uF. And did you check for leakage with a capacitor tester? They can be leaking a substantially, and that will effect the outcome as well. As I said, I haven't had a chance to watch the video (and can't until tomorrow), but without the exact capacitance and voltage measurements, the test is only worth while for those exact caps you are testing, not the lines in general.
