I wonder if he did the comparison of both side by side or if he was relying on his audio memory (which can be fleeting).

Also this sentence "Inside, the Reference 10 reflects the discovery of new passive parts, including new coupling capacitors, replacing the absolutely immense Teflon ones used in the Reference Anniversary"
This is obviously bullshit spun by the ARC marketing team as the Gold coloured, red end capped TRT stealth caps have been used by ARC since the LS26 - almost 10 years before the Ref10 was released! They probably did the change to the Stealth caps in the Ref10 because of the many failures of their Teflon caps made by another company (I vaguely remember it was ASC or similar 3 letter abbrevation)
