Hi.Who doesn't know reversed 'ltyic caps may blow in normal HV application. FYI, my daily business is power engineering involving up to 150KV HV.
What I want is advice on technical ground or experience how to improve the sound of a 'lytic cap when used to couple audio voltage gain stages given John Curl's paper on cross-parallel 'lytic caps & physical PCB layout prohibiting the use of bulky caps.
This is a sticky technical issue, not a textbook straight-foward
rule of the thumb thing one can read out handily.Despite I dare electricity (check out my post below "It was so close one time for me too" dd Feb 20 2007), I don't want to get unpleasant bang-bang fireworks if adequate precaution in the coupling circuit design can be taken to make way for such cross-parallel caps arrangement for sonic improvement.
I don't need textbook citation, instead I want creative thinking on this. Please back off for whoever can't come up with a relevant solution.
