Does anyone know how to tell the orientation for REL Caps AudioCaps?

Is there a way to test with a meter for correct orientation?

Update on Quickie with Auricaps used as coupling caps, dont hear much difference than the stock ones but I guess they will improve with time. The big difference came when I installed the Amperex Bugle Boys, much more detail an no microponics, but I guess they should at $25 pr.
By the way how do you post pictures?.

Use a website like www.photobucket.com to host your pictures.  Then when you post here you add the link to your picture.

Paul, a very interesting choice of random pictures.  I admit I had a thing for Natasha as a kid.

Not as far as finding the orientation of the REL AudioCaps.

But I am loving the Alps and AudioCap combo.  Still waiting on the cotton and silk tubing so I can go with the OCC silver wire.

The Telefunken and Mullard tubes are awesome, easily the best upgrade.

At this point I am guessing you would have to spend $1200 on a preamp to better this little quickie!

If I understood non-polarized film cap "orientation" it gives a modicum of additional noise rejection.  It doesn't flavor the sound in any way.

That is to say that you don't have to worry about a "wrongly oriented" cap sounding bad.

That is if I understood the posts several years back.

Hi machinehead any updates?


I think the caps are breaking in, for some reason yesterday I was listening to it and noticed that the soundstage was as deep as can be and
very layered and detailed.  Not something I have had before.
