RE: Question...

Ummm, I don't agree...

The proper way to connect the outside foil is to the low impedance side of the circuit. That is (in the case of coupling caps) usually the plate of the prior stage. The grid is a high to very high impedance point in the circuit - which will cause a noise voltage to be generated.

In many circuits the orientation is a non-issue but if it is go to the lowest impedance.

If you'd like to hear from a real expert follow the link below to Randall Aiken's site page. He explains WHY this is the best choice. It's excellent reading and he knows his stuff BIG TIME!!
