RE: What would happen if I upped the uf value of an audio path capacitor

However, in coupling the output of a phono stage to a linestage, one must be aware of rumble caused by LP warps and off-centeredness of the spindle hole. The spurious ultra-low frequencies thus generated can wreak havoc on the amplifier and speaker, sucking up lots of power for nothing, at best. Some older circuits used a hi-pass filter set at about 10Hz or 20Hz, for that reason for phono. I'm sure you know this; just saying... The custom of using such a filter seems to have disappeared in commercial products, like the "mono" switch and other features that used to be common in full-function preamplifiers.
