I wonder what is the best capacitor material for tone pot.
I spent several days researching the subject. I read statements from luthiers, pickups producer, electronics and people from hi'fi equipment.
Each of them has a different opinion.
Some people say that the best cap is polyester.
Some people say that the best cap is ceramic, but foil cap (polyester, polypropylene) and paper in oil isn't good because it can catch radio waves. But some people say that ceramic cap isn't good because has piezoelectric properties. People from hi-fi audio equipment say that the best cap for audio track is 1'st polystyrene 2'st polypropylene. They also say that polyester cap isn't good because distorts the band, it gets warmer. Some people think this has no effect because no sound flows through the capacitor because the signal is shorted to ground using resistor (pot) and cap.
As you can see, all sentences are mutually exclusive.
What do you think about it?
