How many guitarists does it take to change a fuse

I mean 25 years, are you sure you don't just sound better?

You absolutely can hear the difference between caps of the same nominal value of you get unlucky with the tolerance. An 22 nF orange drop at the bottom of its range and a bumble bee at the top of its tolerance are 19.8 nF and 26.4 nF respectively. Now if you measure two 22 nF caps, both at 22.1...
