Hi Steve,

Interesting observation. As to your question, I have "not" noticed a
change. One of my MMC banks consist of 3 strings of 18 caps per string
of
the (0.15uF CD942's). It calculates to .025uF and measures .025uF
exactly.
Each cap includes a 10M ohm resistor (carbon) soldered across each cap.

Seems something is different between your MMC and my own. Possibly cap
type
or resistor type?

Take care,
Bart"
