There are a few ways to measure it. Some straight-forward and others take considerable effort. Current loading, tuning or bridging - all accepted methods. We measureed capacitance to withing .2 picofarads. As for tolerances, well keep in mind things work together and generally burn-in together. It's much like a car engine - where the internal parts generally break-in at a close pace. So regardless of the degree of wear, things keep humming along. -- Digital Audiophile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Digital Audiophile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31311 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
