When I look at the schematics for my terminal I see a 2N3904
transistor directly driving the speaker. Also in that circuit
are a few resistors, a flip-flop and finally an 8041 microcomputer.
The only storage elements in that circuit are the flip-flop
and the Miller capacitance of the transistor and the 8041.
Is it these two things that make every LP I play sound like
Kate Smith singing "God Bless America" or is it the fact that
the 2N3904 is in a TO-92 ceramic can?

All seriousness aside I think things are getting carried away
here. I can see that with larger speakers that have cross-over
networks some charge ( maybe even a measurable one ) is stored
in the caps. I really don't believe that a detectable difference
exists. Has anybody done tests with test equipment. Can somebody
give me a ( report * ) pointer to these results. If there REALLY
is an audible effect I would like to read about it.
