Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

Jim McShane is the one knows about Photoflash caps and he uses some

if you read bis systems bio page however,he uses special ones and he makes sure the leakage is under .5ma.I've used the ones out of cameras in series and they sounded good but Jim told me not to use those years ago so I took them out. I only put them in my Dyna MK3s in the Stokes power supply board and they sounded ok but they couldn't be trusted.I use good low ESR, high ripple current Panasonic and Nichicon 105 degree lytics and then use 50uf film caps for added decoupling or for the first stage off a tube rect.
