RE: Ping Charles Hansen - Integrated amp question

You are absolutely right on that last count! In the first place I don't have access to a vapor-phase degreaser. Also polystyrene is probably the easiest plastic to dissolve of anything commonly available. In addition it has the lowest melting point of any commonly available plastic.

In my experience tighter is better, which is just one of the reasons that I prefer PS to polypropylene or even Teflon, which are both much "stretchier" than PS. It's just about impossible to wind any other dielectric as tightly as a PS capacitor. I've also done quite a bit of experimentation with cryogenic and other thermal treatments. Just never tried a vapor-phase degreaser!
