In Reply to: Quality of Cathode Bypass Capacitors in the SET Amps? posted by megasat16 on April 18, 2015 at 10:06:24:
Caps are the worst component in audio. Only the best are even remotely usable, and despite how they measure statically, they play back music narrow band !!On two stage Direct Coupled amps, the Rk bypass is critical and important to get right. It is little understood, from what I see, know of, and have heard, to date.
Its NOT cheap, bypassing ( properly ) can cost more than ALL the other components in the amp, combined !!
In a SE amp, every cap, coupling, Rk and Power Supply Cap, is "in" the audio circuit, and as such, every cap goes BEGGING to be optimized.
I only know of one person in all of audio who has done this bypassing properly. Not yet me !! Soon though.
