Hi JohnGranted that in the old days it was common to see crappy electorlytics, ceramic discs (which are piezoelectric and some drifted with temp) and sometimes Tantalums in audio chains where they don’t belong.
Under measure, there were clear “issues†so far how far they were from a “pure†reactive element.Are you saying that nowadays a good polypropylene cap (I mean electrically good, not boutique) still has a signature (aside from what ever change its reactance imposes)?
Fwiw, where low losses were needed in high power, high current RF was used in EM levitators, I found Pyrex dielectric had about the lowest losses.
