What brought this about was me wanting to try Teflon capacitors in my tube phono's RIAA equalization. Some knowledgeable Asylum members (Eli Duttman and Mike Samra, to name two) have speculated that Teflon caps in the RIAA might never break-in in that portion of the circuit.

On the other hand, there's been posts by the likes of John Curl, and others who've said they used Teflon caps in their RIAA, saying they're better than polystyrene, which is what I always use in the RIAA network.

I want to try Teflon caps, but was looking for a way around the "they'll never break in" dilemma. I could easily expose them to DC, but since the speculation is that they need to see both DC and AC, I had hopes for that circuit I posted.

I'll tack the pF value caps across the output caps on my tube line stage for a couple of months, then try them in the phono circuit.

Thanks again.

As the circuit is drawn and assuming the 9V supply... - Steve O 22:45:00 10/18/20 (1)
