RE: Dynaco PAS3 dash II - the I is

Posted by Lew on October 13, 2021 at 10:00:08:
Can someone post a schematic or name a preamplifier that actually did use an output coupling capacitor as low in value as .01 or .01uF? I'm curious.

I would argue that in the "modern" era (say 1965 to the present), no phono or linestage used such a low value of coupling capacitor, unless it was designed specifically to cut off low frequencies above some set frequency, or it was designed specifically to be mated to an upstream component with a very high input Z. I am just curious to be proven wrong, if I am wrong. And this is only a discussion; my ego is not at stake.
