Be that as it may, Ernie heard a difference he thought was worth posting 
about. You can sit there without hearing it and say there's no difference, 
but it's all theory. Maybe the caps had aged differently, as Kon pointed 
out. I have no doubt it sounds better to Ernie or he wouldn't have said so. 
Maybe ESR does have something to do with it (I doubt it).
