Hi again all,
I have another capacitor-related question. A comment by a commercial amp builder recently that I read recently went along the lines that the cathode bypass capacitor for small IDH tubes (e.g. input tubes) essentially inaudible - that differences between capacitor types are inaudible. Does this reflect others' experiences? What would be a rationale - apart from listening experiences - that could explain this?
Just wondering. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Regards,
91.
