Modifying Film Cap Lead OUTS










Modding the Dynami Cap 4.0 E's usual stock lead - Wonder Wire 19 AWG - to TWO 12 AWG lead outs, made a really NEAT audible difference on my ALTEC VOTT 515B woofers !! On the 802D tweeters' 4.0 uF film caps, I used doubled up 14 AWG as lead outs, same technique.

In my Type 45 SET amp rebuild, for a 12AX7 input stage drawing 0.6 mA. , I found the DynamiCap 4.0 E was NOT cutting it with TWO 14 AWG leads, one inch long, so, I will go to tripled-up 14 AWG or doubled-up 12 AWG on the 12AX7 - and LISTEN next to those two possibilities.

Guys - in both positions, the clip lead, added to the existing doubled-up 14 AWG lead outs, " told me " easily, MORE wire was needed to get the best sound !! Very helpful, dem-there high tech clip leads, when designing by EAR !!!!

Mr. Robert W. Fulton was SO right... " an inch of bad wire can RUIN the musical experience ".
