Capacity is a definite part it.
As well as design and materials.

On most probably not but some cheaper ones ...
Especially big electrolytics which Need bypassing IMO.

Same here - convert as of late.
Especially in speaker crossovers.
I am getting to hate inductors there too.
Even Goertz 12gauge copper foil ones.

> > I don't buy the 'large capacitors are slow argument'

Fine with me, I am only telling what I have learned.
That is all I can do or even want to do -
I am NOT saying that if you don't use small caps or
don't bypass large caps you have low-fi equipment 8^D
I have heard the difference and am reporting such.
Take it or leave it.

Caveat - I haven't heard the need for any bypass on my
40 or 5uFd GE 97Fs used in my speaker crossover though.
