was it not as it was in the old days?

Jeff Medwin is among my oldest of audio acquaintances; and I will never forget/deny his influence.

One of my very earliest audio recollections goes back to around 1981: I had a highly-modified Stereo 70 that I imagined could not be significantly improved upon; and, Jeff recommended that I replace the external (multi-Farad) capacitor bank with a single 100 uf oil cap - I thought he was nuts - but, oh my God, it was a HUGE improvement!
More importantly, it is significant to recognize that this was at a time when absolutely no one acknowledged that oil caps (or less capacitance) might actually sound better.

While I do not automatically endorse everything Jeff says: he has great ears, is a true mensch, and is totally dedicated to helping the DIY Audio community.

For me: I believe in honesty, and I believe in supporting whatever gets you closer to reveling in music.
