Default Capacitors. Audible differences?

Happy New Year to All:-)

It would be interesting to know how many on this
group think/find that:

a) capacitor "upgrade" results in a clearly audible
improvement.

b) a capacitor is a capacitor, and all caps of the same
value and voltage rating sound the same.

Happy New Year Iain and everyone..

a) When I upgraded my Lumley monoblocks I modified one with Jensen copper &
oil caps and compared modified to unmodified The moded one came up tops
every time according to five enthusiasts but my back hurt afterwards with
the changeovers :-( The only way to know which amp was which was by
removing the base cover which we did expectantly after the event...I
breathed a sigh of relief that it was the moded one as those caps ain't
cheap.

But hey, we must have been imagining it all as we all know there is no
difference between competent amps, cables, CD players, components, stands,
spikes, cones :-)
Had a great late night session last night till 5am, the music just sounded
better and better as the night progressed... which may have been due to
certain beverages :-)
