Re: Bypassing or "parraleling" ?

207.122.42.131

Bypassing is actually the correct and commonly used term, although "paralleling" as you put it would not be an inappropriate term. The film cap is bypassing the electrolytic in the sense that it is allowing the delicate, vulnerable signal or portion thereof, to bypass or go around the sonically "bad" electrolytic. Ever since the early days of the tube amp, the caps hooked up in parallel with the cathode resistors of small signal stages were called "cathode bypass condensors."
