Re: Another ByPass question.more complicated.

The idea is to have smaller caps handle a smaller range therefore being more responsive. The ideal is supposed to be original cap bypassed by a cap 10% of the value of the original. Then you may bypass the bypass cap with a cap that has a 10% value of the bypass cap; and so on; and so on.

I have heard results bypassing 10,000 MFD caps with 5 MFD polypropylenes. In answer to your question you won't hurt anything by adding the 220 MFD back in the circuit. You may (or may not) hear a fuller bass.

Based on my experience, you may hear subtle changes in the sound with the addition of each bypass capacitor.

So, please, let us know what you hear based on the various mods.
