I don't have to provide any evidence, you are the one using a dubious (to put it mildly) USB cable in a system claimed to be able to discern between capacitors. Meantime, since you continue using this USB cable, your reports are not credible. Use your own advice and fix your system, we can then talk about capacitors sound.
Come over to my house. 10 miles of steel overhead wire back to the dam, and more back to the boiler generator. Out here in the rocky woods, everything is overhead and anything over 20KV is usually steel for strength (against tree-falls) rather than resistance.
Aside from observing the line along my street, I got to watch my neighbor run 1.4 miles of power line; 'private', but built to Company specs (because the land just might be divided someday and they would take-over the line). Plain 3/8" galvanized iron cable.
I do not see a problem because my amplifier has filter caps. When a class B audio amplifier loads a power source (battery, capacitor, alternator...) the line current is the rectified signal current. So distortion would be GROSS. Which is one reason we use filter caps on the DC side.
I opened up a Burmester preamp for €20.000 and found cheap Beyschlag resistors and cheap WIMA caps, the frontplate was made in Poland cos nobody in Germany would deliver such a bad and faulty quality (no offense here).
P.S.: Sound quality was sterile and totally unmusical.

I've read this idiocy a number of times, so curious about its origin. From the Bible? Self? Please do tell.
Here overhead cables are steel for strength combined with copper for conductivity (midvoltage guy here so kV it is).
Normal midvoltage cables contain no steel:
Middenspanningskabel tot en met 30kV | Nedkab
This is why our washing machines and AC's sound better than yours

OMG, i am not a human being
: I rather easily hear differences exchanging capacitors...and have auditory memory .

Not only that, our old European washing machines are equipped with Siemens MKV caps - they sound better than Soviet Teflon and US caps but shhhhhhh...
Seriously, they do sound real good.
I come from deep space. My real name is ETS (enjoy the silence)
+1 Thus we must have kinda sound memory...Freaky !

It is not easy to describe sounds in words, for example:
" bright, brilliant The most often misused terms in audio, these describe the degree to which reproduced sound has a hard, crisp edge to it. Brightness relates to the energy content in the 4kHz-8kHz band. It is not related to output in the extreme-high-frequency range. All live sound has brightness; it is a problem only when it is excessive. "

In the past quality and longevity was obvious. We all know a washing machine, a computer or amplifier... that lasts until now. We also heard about planned obsolescence. Not sure it's a bad advice,
Brands open manufactures all over the world; production process change with machines. How this changes affect final products ? About measures, is distortion analysis the ultimate parameter to caracterize caps ?
Using polypro caps is obviouly a good idea for new developments, but when space is limited electolytics keep their interest.
naming as opinion is already a judgment. I call for "experiences" in order to forge my own knowledge. I learned in the past with J Hiraga that hear can be formed like taste with wine.
