Re: Audiophile cap ESR ratings?

"We all know, or should, that ALL commercial equipment is engineered and built to a price point. Also, most 'engineers' don't bellieve that premium parts contribute anything to a unit's"


This may be true most of the time. But how do you then explain the cost no object amps out there that dont use bypass caps?? I think it has more to do with them not making a significant differance than the fact that it will cost $5 or $10 to a $10k amp. I think if the power supply is well designed and uses high quality parts to begin with, bypasses will not do much. But on less expensive components I guess they can be used as a sort of bandaid on lower quality lytics. But you have nothing to lose buy trying so by all means give it a shot!
