Does spacing PCBs more than 1/2" away from a metal case provide any benefit? ...

I heard somewhere that mounting PCBs close to a metal surface will create more capacitance between the PCB tracks and the metal case ... and this is
sonically bad?

So mounting further away (say 1"/25mm) will be better than mounting them 1/4"/6mm away?

Is there any truth in this rumour? :-))

Andy
