Isn’t it might a separate VERY large subject?

The low level resolution is exquisite but this is at the expense of audio neutrality.  Some aspect of musicality is excluded to provide the fien resolution and we end up with very detailed sounds but somehow the music is lost.

Adrian, that was it! It is exactly why in many cases I am suspicious to hear from other audio people their comments about the “quality of sound” from various passive parts. The audio people do not look for “correctness” but rather for immediate quantifiable gain in mostly irrelevant characteristics (like resolution and etc). There are a number of products in market (including capacitors) that are made “just to impress” during evaluations. They are very bad products. I certainly, since I never used them do not say that V-caps are one of them….

There are other two very interesting subjects: how the caps “sound” in relation to:

•  ….where they are located. The supply, bypass, blocking-coupling, signal, signal to ground, speakers, cathode, filaments, feedback positions all my have own idiosyncrasies as the caps will work differently and do the different things in these applications.
•  …what is before and after a capacitor. I have seen as combination of passive parts did affect the output.
