Jumped on the bandwagon? No - Shanghaied. Didn't want to be convinced, but the two-alternative forced choice paradigm left me no choice. Like when your optometrist says, "Better or worse? Better of worse?". Easy to design a single-blind experiment. Did so with resistors and caps. Results were clear with some components always preferred: air-gap and vacuum caps, nude Vishay resistors.
A justly famous person's apparent preference, a species of Caddock resistor, had large minimum orders, and so was not part of the test. His other apparent preference, teflon, always scored highly.
Agreed, not much AC - but conversely, not much distortion via dielectric absorption is required to degrade a small signal.
Confirming idle current falling monotonically with time. Can't post the schematic because it's not mine and it's proprietary. Sorry. Hope you understand, even though it's poor payment for your generous help.
Each Quad has its own mono block. Two Quads facing ahead, and two Quads at one radian angles, facing in. A bit like one of Walker's experiments. Think of two sides of a hexagon on the left, mirror image on the right. And two at the back of the room, attenuated, but important.
