He said that they have not used the White Teflon caps (with the blue end caps) for a few of years now as the company had stopped manufacturing of them (probably due to the failures).

Interesting....If I am reading this correctly, then it would appear that ARC have returned to the implementation of a bypass cap in parallel with the min 2.0uF coupling cap ala 1st gen Teflon, presumably to increase bandwidth performance, having previously dispensed with that topology on 2nd gen Gold 2.0uF builds.
