RE: Direct coupled with 57caps?




Look at the first photo a bit more closely. L1/C1/L2/C2 to Finals.

EVERY power supply cap in the amp is multiple film bypassed, and the driver and finals Rks are multiple film cap bypassed. The audio circuit uses NO series coupling caps.

I hate caps.... the worst part in audio !!!

However, in a SE amp, ALL the caps are IN the audio circuit.

But since caps PLAY narrow band, I am forced to use multiple bypasses to get the audio circuit to PLAY linear - the way " I " wanna hear it.

"In the end, we are all listening to a modulated power supply," how good is yours ?? Mine's OK !!

The photo in this post ( above ) SHOWS my short direct coupling path, multiple silver RCA jack, to driver - double silver , to finals - triple silver. Those Rs are all long gone, using paralleled Caddocks 7-2015.
