[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 5140692, member: 550915"] Yes, I clearly have a superiority complex...but when you're clearly this superior it isn't that complex... If you think this is "testy" you've got a bit to figure out still. You've also completely missed the whole point of the argument, that is, if everything else is working correctly, the cap will have no beneficial effects and definitely not ones that would be audible. Let's think about this for a couple of shakes in a logical manner. If caps had a measurable and clearly audible benefit (rather then being the useless pieces of ballast that they are), why would the marketing departments at all the companies selling them fail to even mention that in the marketing? Telling people that it would actually filter out voltage ripple and make their system sound better would be much better marketing than what they have now. Why don't they claim that? Probably because it simply isn't true, not that there are any truths in their marketing, but at least this one is more plausible. In fact, you're the first person I've heard claim audible benefits to adding a cap. Wow, your ears must be amazing...either that or the placebo effect is strong in you... And BTW, everything that you attribute to a cap above is done and done better by a good battery. [/QUOTE]
