I don't see a problem with that thingy being both a corona-ball and a capacitive-hat. Of course, the size of the thing will determine how -much- capacitance it adds. The size also determines how much voltage the thing can handle before emitting a coronal discharge. The -shape- of that thingy has more to do with the coronal discharge than it does with being a capacitive-hat. Corona-balls tend to have no points, are more of a smooth ball or rounded shape.
That 'audio ball' thing is just more oxymoron stuff...
