RE: People tend to like what they like.

Here's a test.

I know it doesn't answer everything (to start with there's no DC across the cap) but it's a worth while test none the less.

Place the cap under test between the output of your preamp and the input of your power amp with a switch that shorts across it.

(Make sure the knee of the filter is completely out of the audio band.)

To my way of thinking, when you find a cap where you can't tell when it's in circuit vs. out of circuit that's a good cap.

The more a cap effects the sound (even if you like the effect) the worse that cap is (technically speaking).
