If you want an engineering answer maybe you should ask an engineer.
The response was a simplification for the intended audience. I think it was fair enough in the context of an owners forum.
Conrad Johnson's philosophy is fewer parts but better parts and KISS. According to my dealer ( who has made his own amps) all the CJ circuits are about as minimalist as you can make them.
At a high level that makes enough sense for 90% of owners. Ultimately its how the component sounds that is important. The use of teflon caps would have to be another issue. Have you seen the size of them. Twice the parts would mean a much bigger case.
Audio Research have balanced models. I wonder why they don't use Teflon caps.
End of the day its a design choice by CJ. You want CJ thats what you get.
