There's nothing like a tax on the uninformed.
Does that mean you don't like them or you have no opinion?
I'm not Roz or Riverbound...those guys are experts.

They make great bookends!
I hope that wasn't a dig at me.
Not deliberately so.
It's all good, as far as I'm concerned. I've heard some pretty decent systems that ran caps.
By the way, I was building systems full time back in the early 80s to around 1990. For a few years following, I built systems for friends and a few good customers while I went to university. Then, I slowed down even more and just helped out with the odd system for very good friends. These days, I will make sure I get the decent factory stereo with any vehicle I may buy and that's good enough for me. It's not that I don't appreciate the hardware and effort that went into building the system but I just couldn't be bothered any more.
The thrust of what I was trying to say is that in all the hype, I never heard people A/B with/without caps. Just like speaker cables and interconnects, it all seemed a little subjective to me. If there is a real difference, you should be able to measure it and if not, then at least you should be able to do a blind A/B test a few times and come to the same conclusion each time.
Anyway, I've spammed my opinion sufficiently here.
Oh yes... my readings were (and still are) taken with a Leader 40MHz dual trace analog oscilliscope. I can't help but notice that the information above was all graphed nicely using a PC. I still have to write stuff down. I suppose if I wanted to graph it, I could key it into Excel.

Keep them fully charged and let the hijinx begin!
I hope that wasn't a dig at me. I was building IASCA show cars at Precision in San Diego back in the early 90s. I remember when Richard Clark was a nobody that bought a trophy in the finals.
Precision ,eh? Which location... I remember those jackholes quite well... Joe didn't know a cap from a cap, but I hear he almost got capped a few times...lol... Do you remember Dave Kitmer?
Did anyone get any caps for christmas?
I added a street Wires cap to my JL Audio 500/1 amp with a W6 12 sub to stop the dash and navigation lights from pulsing. No Go- what a waste off $149.00. Did not change the sound and did not stop the dash lights problem.
