RE: Custom caps

Ralph, You're talking about adding capacitance right AT the speaker terminals, correct? If so, I have thought about that many times, but the problem, as you suggest, is how to connect the other end of the capacitor. It would be most convenient to connect it to the nearest positive pole, which is the pole coming from the PS on the opposite side of the circlotron. This is why I have not tried it, but is there really anything wrong with connecting to the pos of the bridged supply? I thought about using a film bypass cap right at the speaker terminals, in which case there is no polarity to worry about.

On the other hand, the internal wiring going up to the speaker terminals is very high quality and can be thought of as just another foot of speaker wire, I guess.
