Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

"Was any scientific data presented in support of this claim?"

No, there wasn't, not that I saw. But the poster really seemed to know quite a bit about many of the Russian cap types, including details regarding their internal construction. You even left him a "Great info, thanks!" comment. (link below)

Here's the statement in question: "Foils are connected to tabs or wires by thicker aluminum strips; these strips are riveted to tabs, but not welded or soldered to foils. For this reason, FT caps may not perform well at very low voltages, and, if used as coupling capacitors at low signal levels, need at least 10V of DC bias."

My curiosity in this matter involves feedback in a tube amplifier circuit, rather than anything directly to do with 'vinyl' (although it does also apply to Teflon RIAA capacitors). So after Independence Day has passed, I'll start a new thread on the subject over on Tube DIY. That way it won't add to off topic clutter here, and may increase the likelihood that other builders may see it.

As always, thanks TK!
