i dunno about all this hype spending $10 or more on boutique caps. ive been using the radio shack caps 2 for $1.79 for 30 some odd years now with no ill effects.

from what i know about electronics the guitars voltage is too minimal to to utilize the better componants to its full potontial.

all i can see is that theyre made to closer specs. whereas the cheapos may be +/- 10% the boutiques will be +/-2% or 1%

i think thats what your hearing in the up grade
