Your bypass C's

Hello Doctor,

More for you. Use this calculator posted below to compute bypass caps.

220 uF across 750 ohms is .96 HZ !! Unnecessary.

I'd do about a 25 uF high quality film cap across the 750 ohm input stage's Rk, and a 8-10 uF high quality film cap across the 2A3 stage's 3,200 ohm Rk.

Email me privately for suggestions as to actual cap choices there. Quality and execution matters there.

Be sure to USE the multiple litz technique on these film caps' lead-outs - as I've posted on-Forum, earlier this month or last, for max fidelity.

Normally, seek to obtain under 8 HZ, in the 4-8 HZ range is OK, and you do not want the SAME HZ for each stage, to avoid stacking at the same frequency.

Your internal wire choices and lay-out will be ultra-CRITICAL in this SE design's execution.

Hope this helps you.
