Strange I had to go elsewhere to find this research: http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/do...cal_Report.pdf
It refers to internal vibration caused by a signal passing though the capacitor NOT external influences but this is just a diversion, it's not a resistor.
Edit: Ah Grant beat me to it.

Lol - I know! My point was that, in audio, one should always look beyond the immediately obvious, and apply lateral thinking, which is precisely what Clarity Cap did with capacitors... Perhaps if someone applied that thinking to resistors, they'd also discover something useful that wasn't immediately obvious?

I had already googled it. But in my case I follow the Hindu/Buddhist view that the mind is an aspect of Maya, and as such needs to be ignored if one is to achieve enlightenment. It is simply the result of the soul being housed in a body and it's interaction with the world causes this ephemeral and annoying distraction. Of course, as we all interact individually each mind takes on a different personality, and this is what we mistakenly believe to be the real us.Wiki is your friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysical_solipsism
Remind you of anyone?
Marco.
OK? Any questions?

Blimey, I thought everyone had read that. I would have mentioned it myself if I'd realised.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Goldpoint SA4M-47 passive 'preamp' winging its way to Marco Towers...
The ClarityCap research makes it quite clear that they found no evidence that capacitors are affected by external vibration. What they did find was that capacitors resonated quite clearly when fed a signal and this potentially modulated their own output - so they weren't prone to external vibration but produced their own.
Ah, I see now that this has already been pointed out.
