   The only thing that is likely different is the dielectric absorption, and   
   if you change values accordingly, you can equalize that effect, if   
   it really exists. I ALWAYS listen and change values using pink noise.   
   If you don't do that, your a fool. You can't hear transparency with pink   
   noise, it just sounds different, and the difference can be explained in detail   
      
   I see an example how DA works, but they just show a series resistance.   
   I would just show it a a decrease in capacitance.
