Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

PSU

Ray,

The brickbat theory only applies when the capcitance is supplying current the PSU cannot deliver. If the cap does this, it discharges, and the timeconstant of recovery is based on the transformer. The transformer will be in circuit during this time, and so will be audible.

Thanks to the transient nature of a music signal, this happens an awful lot more than the theory suggests, unless your PSU is huge. Thats one of the key reasons why many DIYers upgrade the PSU, and things typically sound better....

Just my experience of the situation.
