i was reading the playback forum and found a topic about these capicators http://www.audience-av.com/passive.htm
would they be usable in a batterybox?
I don't believe in all that fancy stuff. Speaker cables, audiophile caps, etc. Maybe if you're working at high frequencies (like RF) it would matter, but I challenge anyone to hear a difference between caps, even an electrolytic, in double-blind tests. In my own battery boxes I've used both polyester and electrolytic caps (proper polarity) and can't tell the difference. Even Linkwitz, who first suggested this mod, shows electrolytics in his battery box
And this guy should know know audio (he was the inventer of the Linkwitz-Riley crossover circuit if anyone is curious.)
