Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Re: To a certain extent


You seem to be suggesting that this Mil test does something other than isolate and make easily measurable an ever present AC characteristic of capacitors (which is a silly way to consider a well established MIL test on the face of it, AFAIC).

No. What I'm saying is that just because you get a particular result under one set of conditions, such as the Mil test, it doesn't mean you're going to get the same result under a completely different set of conditions.

For example, later you say:


Several percent of the musical dynamic peaks of this effect is a huge amount, requiring cloth ears, a really bad system (setup) or a mule-like obstinacy not to perceive or to persist in refusing to acknowledge, given the 30 or 40 db dynamic range typical of decently recorded actual music.

That "several percent" you speak of and say is such a huge amount applies ONLY to the conditions of the Mil test, NOT to the conditions the capacitor would be subject to if it were being used as a coupling capacitor in an amplifier playing music, which bear no resemblence whatsoever to the Mil test conditions.

At no time during the normal course of operation is the capacitor going to be charged with a DC voltage for five seconds, shorted for five seconds, then open circuited for one minute before being reconnected to the circuit.

That you obviously have not given this any consideration at all and assume the same several percent under two completely different conditions indicates that you haven't given the issue any thought at all.

Give it some actual thought instead of reactionary knee-jerking and then we'll continue.
