Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Give me something more audio relevant, please.

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.
