When I started getting into the wonderful world of tube amps, I also heard
of these beasts - oil caps. Of course you all know what I am talking about,
but my question is what are they? I know what a capacitor is, but why oil?
What oil? What does this "oil" do that normal vaccum or air between the
plates does not do? Thanks

Just grab that plate in one hand, the chassis in the other,
and FEEL the power of tube audio!!!
(not literally, of course, just kidding. DON'T DO THAT!)
