------->Technically, what are the known differences between C0G and polypropylene caps? <br></div><div><br></div><div>Hopefully someone else can shed light here. The best I could do would provide silly descriptors like the WIMAs sounded more buttery while the c0g sounded more crisp. I feel like I can hear that crisp quality in my Spectra console EQ... but this could be pure fantasy!<br></div><div><br></div><div>------->
I've always wondered in such blind tests to what extent I'm truly
listening to component quality. In many cases component tolerances
(parameter spread) could yield audible differences, e.g. making the
cutoff frequencies in 4 subsequent stages of a VCF much less aligned,
softening the filter response. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Definitely agree here. In my case I chose WIMA vs c0g with the same tolerance, but I wouldn't have measured each cap so maybe I got lucky and grabbed two WIMAs of *exactly* the same value, or maybe they were *perfectly* imbalanced values which spread the poles in a nice way. <br></div><div><br></div><div>
