Also, FYI - Steve at Angela Instruments last purchased PIO caps from Audio Note in 1996, so this is really a very out-of-date observation, unless he still has some 9+ year old caps to sell, in which case, the comments would apply to those caps only, not any of the Audio Note caps being sold anywhere else here in the 21st century.
