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..

geoffkait is rite-on. As to cables and their directional clear path

signal. Audio Quest has the directional flow arrows on every cable they make. Are you trying to convince us, or yourself audio cables don’t have or the best electrical single flow if so. Oh!,They must have many people setting there all day long listening for purity before the arrow is stamped on. This cable single goes North, this one south before packaging for no good reasons if resistance testing proves nothing?

If true, even your head bone could hear the difference. As dose ours. Fantastic..

There's a variety of reasons a cable may be directional and none of it has to do with the flow of electricity being biased in one direction or another. This stupidity doesn't even make sense. If a length of wire is directional and you pass an AC signal though it you're going to end up with even order distortion. Why would you want that??? Most directional cables are directional due to how they're terminated and shielded. It has nothing to do with pieces of wire behaving like diodes.

I believe some were in this thread subject something got lost " in translation."

As it wasn’t about if a wire  has a +- value. About caps. No one disagrees that assembly of a AUDIO CABLE could and have a better path of least resistance once assembled.

Uh, I disagree with that plenty because it's fiction. 
My first post on this thread was a jab about still waiting for the first transistor rolling thread. I chimed in again when somebody proposed the myth that caps may be directional because electrons might like flowing through them better one way than another, which isn't why a cap is directional at all. 
I'm skeptical about the value some of these insanely priced caps represent. They do make a difference, but beyond a point I feel like the tone is best addressed at the gain devices.
