gary oliver	best capacitors So does anyone no what are the best caps for sound i understand theres a lot of debate over this would like to hear anyones thoughts and opinions.I hear that electrolitic are bad for audio is that right.I have a homemade LA2A i swapped the 10uf electrolitic that feeds the output tran for a big fat expesive 8uf poly prop i had spare and it does sound nicer should i try a different type and or size. I also read that if you put smaller caps in paralel with the bigger ones supposed to give better top end if anyones got any tweaks or imrovements i would love to hear them im very green with all this but i find it fasinating and i can hear the results when recrd my vocals its great.Many thanks folks
