I agree that you want to minimize caps as much as is practical-- but remember-- we can't yet get along without them entirely.

You're going to have to admit the truth, bite the bullet, and make some nice relationships with expensive cap people.

You can start with Mundorf, Dynamicap (Michael Percy Audio is a nice, co-operative source), Reliable Capacitor (wonderful helpful people-- S. Cal.-style), old Hovlands, Sidereals, and whatever else that is really great-- that you can scare-up.

Don't be bashful, and don't pinch pennies! GO RIGHT AFTER the best-- to "H" with the other stuff! This will save you time, frustration, and-- in the long run-- money.

You just can't beat actual performance. Don't try to. Embrace the best and the great people who build it.

Yes, I use 0.22uf to 10uf caps for PS bypass, not 0.001uf - Chris O 19:52:51 06/27/12 (1)

Furthermore, a cap value ( .68 micro farad in front of a choke STILL means it is choke loaded.~nT - Cleantimestream 10:38:29 07/06/12 (0)
