John, I have officially broken the audiophile worlds "film capacitor" death grip on my brain. I was doing some AB testing awhile back and I could not tell the difference between a film cap and some ceramic SMD caps. I couldn't even notice any changes by bypassing the ceramic with a film. This testing was done on some power amps and a headphone amp.
Now, a lifetime supply of coupling caps fit in the palm of my hand.
If you feel like testing your brains subjectiveness, I'd be happy to send you some. I can even solder some solid copper wires on the ends for easier handling.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
I too cannot tell difference most of the times - I will pass on your offer - but thanks. I have enough caps here to keep me busy for quite some time...
I always ask my wife for her opinion on which cap sounds clearer and more dynamic - since she has WAY better hearing than I do - I might as well be asking her to eat lint.
She usually balks at first, eventually gives in, listens, makes something up as to which one sounds "better", rolls her eyes back into her head and storms out of my listening room. Like Clockwork. Some people just don't get it.
