Default Do all capacitors sound the same.

He dropped some rather interesting info when he was talking about the
blind testing "70% of the people in most of the tests preferred our
capacitors". It is the word "most" that is telling. Suppose by most he
meant perhaps as many as 70%.... Then just under half of the people
tested would have preferred his caps.


Well, I head it as the fact that in blind tests most people prefered the
low resonance caps (ie more than 50%), and in some tests up to 70%
prefered them.



He is also talking about something rather different than most people
when considering the sound of the capacitor - he is talking literally;
the capacitor is physically making sounds. All you need to do is pop it
in a box, and you won't hear it.

Wonderfull bit of not seeming to want to listen Don. He said that as
well as causing a audible difference under blind testing, one of the
ways the effect can be demonstrated is that the caps produce sound.

There are more details here
