New type capacitor?

[PRR]

Useful for audio?

Typical value 1nFd. Tested to kiloVolts, so breakdown unlikely. No exotic or conflict materials. Will store over a Joule.

Dunno. I've heard only lead glass brings proper weight to the sound.

Typical Bass obsession.

I would give more importance to glass bringing transparency to sound.

I am sure any large enough cap brings proper weight to the sound. So Leiden-Jar type caps definitely will do. Of cause, the most powerful sound will go from the real, 1600-1900 yy. built ones (obsolete now). But not from those modern Chinese fake ones.

For even more capacitance you may replace the bottle by a window pane. With several sqrm of alu foil on both sides you can build "The Wall of Capacitors"
