[QUOTE="Stalin-ohaulic, post: 6264376, member: 585517"] Well the problem there is with semantics. You really weren't wrong on the esr of the batt. It's not really esr as defined by a capacitor. ESR is sort of used inappropriately on batteries because if you measure the batts' resistance it will be 0 but it obviously has some. This is why people refer to a batt or an amplifier or any device connected that has resistance that can't be measured through conventional methods as having esr. I think sometimes when the cap argument is going down, people only think about a super long, heavy bass note. In that case, sure it makes a cap worthless if the alt cannot keep up. If you're listening to transient music and have a strong electrical system, the cap will clean the power up. There is really no debating this. It's what I've said the whole time and it's true. Also, I don't have some internet degree in electronics. I know these things and then when someone challenges me I just go find it. I think by now you know I'm not in here lying and blowing smoke.
