Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Thank you, Jon - a very interesting take ...

It's actually not a 'standard' in-series coupling cap ... it's a bypass cap across the Source resistor of a JFET gain stage, in a phono stage. The original circuit had this (for reasons that I can't imagine) set to 51K - with a cap value of 100uF.

In my investigations into the circuit (with the aim of making the phono stage sound better), I determined that about 10K gave a better current through the JFET and I was interested to know whether the cap value could be decreased.

So now I will not lower it as much as I was thinking of doing! :-))

Regards,

Andy
