[Hammarlund] Those BBOD caps

[Glen Zook]

The audiophools actually believe that using the black beauty capacitors improves the "sound" of their equipment!  Just like oxygen free wire, certain brands of tubes, certain color bases on tubes, and so forth.

So--Why do people buy / sell these on e-Bay? After all, they were removed from old gear because they are ALL leaky or shorted. Are these be re-stuffed and used to restore proper appearance to old gear, ( certainly NOT easy), or are there morons out there that somehow believe that putting these old caps back in service offers some "improvement" ?

I have a couple of large glass jars filled with these things. Always thought that I should keep them out of the hands of the ignorant.
