RE: 4.7mfd cap

To be honest, the amp came with a 2.2uF cap that was not a super high quality part. Call me crazy, but I believe in the so called "high quality audiophile" caps. I did not have a 2.2uF cap on hand. I only had a 4.7uF. So, I went with the 4.7uF and liked the sound. Now that I have changed the leads, it is definitely staying in the circuit; at least for now ;-)

Now, what will be interesting is the coupling cap in the circuit. It is a 0.47uF. I have 3 very nice caps to choose from: Jupiter Copper Foil, Russian K40Y and Duelund Cast PIO. I am currently using the Jupiter Copper Foil. Very very nice cap. Well balanced, very good dynamics, very quiet, black background. I will try the K40Y and Duelund and report back to AA. Should be a fun experience.
