N-800-G High-frequency Malfunction

Figure a good cap is 105 tolerance, 10.5 could really be 9.45...or 11.55

If you have a capacitor checker you can order half size caps, test, then match up paralleled pairs. But a lot of work for minimal gain.

+1
especially in passive XO applications, where driver variances (e.g., Qes, Fs, Zmax, etc.) can cause your filter performance to be off (unless you are REALLY anal-retentive and design your XO for each driver & channel - but nobody does that).

For those who are curious, here's what's inside the Elpac capacitor box:
