RE: bypassing caps

Posted by drlowmu on June 26, 2012 at 12:25:21:

Hi GSH,

There is a difference between bypassing a power supply cap and a Rk cap.

Rk caps are somewhat more critical.

DynamiCaps allow for intelligent multiple film cap Rk bypassing, and according to Dennis Fraker, he finds they "add" very nicely.

A good solution / answer will be to use and trust your ears, to select bypass values and types. Use several differing values to get a linear music presentation.

There is no single Rk cap that will do all the frequencies at the speaker voice coil in a linear fashion. When you use a single cap on a Rk bypass, the music will unfortunately tune to the value of that one cap.

Cheers,

Jeff Medwin
