One problem with bypassing caps with smaller units is that the inductances may interact with the capacitances in the other units.Every capacitor also has some sonic character. If your 0.1 uF caps sound bad by themselves, the combination with the existing 4.0 uF caps would likely also sound bad.
Some caps are made with steel parts, for example. Do your 0.1 uF caps show attraction to a strong magnet?

- Very interesting. I wonder why c-j uses bypass-cap values as high as 15%... - jeffreybehr 09:51:14 04/16/07 (0)
