Again, it is an art as to avoid the perception of time/phase shift when bypassing signal path. In fact, in my pre-amp I use 3 output caps. The art is to make the sound that passes thru them come out as whole. One trick I use is to make a mechanical connection between very short(1/4") capacitor leads and then solder. For the .015UF Teflon bypass cap, I use a longer length Auric copper lead. I have never been successful with .01UF bypass caps in the signal path ( .01uf was a typo in previous post). The combination I use in my preamp is base cap 5.0UF, second cap .22UF, third cap .015UF. In my cd player I use base cap 2.0UF bypassed with .015UF FT-1 Teflon.
In conclusion, not only have I heard phase time shift from bypassing signal path capacitors, I've also learned how to eliminate it.
BTW, I've read every single capacitor blog on the internet. Including Tony G, Tempo electric, V-Cap test, Capacitor Orgy etc.
I'm kinda like the guy you scratch your head in bewhilderment at. You know, the one that makes his own interconnects and power cords. Fixes his own cars, has the greenest lawn, sides his own house etc etc etc. All by myself, self taught.
