RE: Mike, these are BlackGates, the best-sounding "'lytics" man has ever made.

I have Black gates and I use them as cathode bypass for higher values..What I was speaking of is right here..Try some of the KBG caps for bypass in the power supply..They now have the .15 at 600v but I think the 1uf to 5uf works very well and these caps would be terribly expensive if they weren't surplus military..The reason I always go more on bypass is because film caps,whether they be paper or poly, will deliver the energy at quicker pulses under most listening conditions..Then on higher demanding passages,you go into the electrolytic.
