This is interesting and I honestly had no idea. I'm kinda ignorant on the subject, but a cap is one thing on my list of things I wanted to get, and that everyone said I needed. Hmmm.....

I use a capacitor and its 10x better than without it. Never had a problem with my capacitor.

do you have any proof of a benefit besides your ears? like pre and post capacitor amperage draw inline?

How about if you want to run a cap run it, if not don't. I run one and I don't feel I need to explain to people why.
