RE: Valve preamplifier biasing

Some folks say F3 needs be a decade (2 Hz.) away from the passband, while other people think 2 octaves (5 Hz.) away is OK. That makes the absolute minimum value for working into that blasted IHF "standard" 10 Kohm load 3.3 μF.

My price/performance suggestion is a 4.7 μF. metalized polypropylene part bypassed by a 0.47 μF. 716P "orange drop". An improvement is a 0.33 μF. PPFX Multi-Cap as the bypass, but costs escalate.
