Still wondering is there any evidence that minor debris on a cap actually impedes its functioning ?
It seem unlikely to me that it does ?
Cleaning a cap is kinda risky:)

I'm not super familiar with Dan to be honest. I know some folks here speak pretty highly of his mic pres, and I've seen him praised many times on GS. I do remember coming across some complaints on GS, but they were from like 2003 or so. That's about the extent of my knowledge. I remember, back in the day, not many people were getting products that were 'as described' from him. I had a tech (who's long since flaked) you told me he'd fixed a number of things people bought from him in supposed 'mint condition.' Yeah, but as much as my own experience is a mixed bag, remember Dan was a broker. The thing with brokers is they usually never had the gear on hand so they never new true condition. Granted Dan is an interesting character, oh where is John Epstein when we need a Good Dan Alexander story. |

That's actually part of my issue with guys like him, and Malekpour, Blevins and the like... |

I always found the top rack of the dishwasher works the best.
