Capacitor rolling.

My son is getting to the Audio World.  Bought a Vincent Hybrid Pre-Amp and Vincent Hybrid Amp.

Both us MKP Film caps on each signal line-out paths. He wants a little more warm from the/voice- strings

Audio Note offers  some of their Caps for those Cap rollers. In Silver/Gold./ Cooper &Alum foil.

Very pricey compared to MKP caps. 7 times+

By the way MKP is widely used by many high-end electronic audio gear Mfg because of their very-very neutral sound & fast transits. Has anyone in this forum  have any feed back on CAP rolling? And Audio Note Caps??

Trust Me signal path Cap rolling can produce more changes than Tube rolling does in some cases..

No... Most of us just aren't interested in snake oil jazz like wire directionality that you can't measure and that you only hear in your head.

When you say “most of us just aren’t interested” one assumes you mean those with moderate to severe learning disabilities or do you mean those who’ve completely given up? Besides, of course you can measure wire directionality. Have you been snoozing in class again? The resistance is always lower and measurable in the correct direction. Hel-loo!

No... I've called you out on this myth many times and you have yet to substantiate your snake oil. Then again, I suppose my expectations for the inventor of the Teleportation Tweak shouldn't be too high.

A myth is as good as a mile. Have you given any consideration to something like an education refresh? So far, I shot down all your so-called technical objections. You got nothing except superstition.

No, you haven't even come close. You resort to name calling and rabid insistence. You claim to be some NASA engineer but you don't even know why caps are directional. You charge people money for rocks, colored spots, and to make noises on their phone all in the name of audio improvement. Sometimes you say something I totally agree with. Other times you make me laugh until my ribs hurt. I just can't take you seriously. I bet you'd be a blast to have a beer with.
