This is the situation. We use good parts, BECAUSE they sound better, especially when listening over a long period of time, than other parts. We, and that includes AR, would like to find cost effective parts that sound great. It would lower our manufacturing costs and some of this could be passed on to the consumer. I suspect that most AR customers don't care what brand or type of cap is being used. They just want it to sound better than a mid fi alternative that they could easily get at a local outlet.
Good parts usually measure better also. It may be difficult to measure the differences so almost no one tries, because it was just too difficult. However, listening comparisons, especially over a period of time, bring out what works, and what doesn't work.
