    Here was the original question, Child Molester:

    **************************

    What are the best capacitors for tube pre-amps and tube
    amps?

    These will be used on the signal path.

    Looking at:

    MultiCap RTX: Polystrene
    Exotica - Teflon TFT (very expensive, are they worth it?)
    InfiniCap - Signature Series, Metallized Polpropylene, type
    D (neutral sounding) or type S (warm sounding)

    Solen Fast Caps: Metallized Polypropylene

    What are the sound characteristics of these caps?

    **************************

    Did it sound to you like the guy wanted to be bombarded with
    demands to prove to someone else whether he can hear
    differences between caps?

    Yes or no?

    >Or, are all critical comments a priori irrelevant?

    The guy wants to build up some tube gear and is interested
    in opinions about the sound of capacitors. He already states
    the qualities of sound he's observed from particular
    constructions. It is quite clear he does not want to be
    dragged into one of your ego-pumping 'prove it' runarounds.
    You're sick and disgusting.

    I'm in agony, you simpering probe-sucking freak.

    No thanks. I've heard differences between capacitors and no
    amount of your propaganda will change my perceptions of what
    I hear.

    Please kill yourself right away, you sick cunt.
