I will look further into it and contact them. Who do I say sent me?

There's another thread out called, 'The Truth' and it's beginning to morph into a components discussion. Too bad I couldn't link them!
There's allot of good material out there regarding components, but some of it goes into this 'unmeasurable' territory. If I can't measure a component's effectiveness or ineffectiveness, how can it be justified as an upgrade or a downgrade?
I saw an article where someone tested several kinds of capacitors for linearity across a frequency spectrum and he found most of them were very linear and I believe it was a ceramic disk cap that wasn't so good. Bybee's and exotic caps tend to be compartmentalized in the same category with me, for the time being. Everybody hears things differently and there's a good chance many people woudn't be able to hear the difference between a standard high quality commercial capacitor and a $20.00 'audio' cap of some kind, for example. If they're both linear within the audio spectrum according to concrete lab tests- should we hear a difference?
Well- that's a few components to mull over: Bybees, carbon film resistors & expensive audio caps.
It is very (extremely) important to me to use high quality components that have a good company name behind them and perform as specified by lab tests. Once we start getting into the components that can't be electrically seperated by standard lab tests, I have some major issues. I do not believe my EE instructors would have passed me on labs if I said, "Sounds Great...but can't tell you why!" If I made to identicle plots then told him one component was different- that wouldn't float.
