i think that two articles in Audio in the early spring of 1980 by Jung
and Marsh are what you are looking for.  both are professors of EE at a
university which i can't remember right now.  i have the articles
buried somewhere at home.  they are a long discussion of capacitors and
the consequences of real capacitors vs ideal and steps to take to make
them more linear.  often, this is by replacing them with better ones or
bypassing them.  i have done this to my amp and the improvement in SNR
alone was worth it.  the rest may be all imagination.
