Power Filtering Bypassing Capacitors
Power Filtering Bypassing Capacitors
What's the deal amp building guru's out there?
I will soon be taking delivery of a preamp with replaceable/up-gradable power filtering bypassing caps.
Knowing sweet nothing as to how these will affect the sound I have no idea which ones would be good to try. The rating can be anywhere from 0.01uf to 10uf which just seems utter madness to me but I'm assured it is correct. 400v rating or over is the only other requirement.
I've had positive results changing coupling caps to some nice Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil supreme 4.7uF (originals were 2.2uF) but regarding power bypassing caps I don't know if higher is better or what material affects the sound in what way.
Info, advice and recommendations much appreciated.
Looking for best bang for buck really, wouldn't expect to spend over £30 or so but if it's worth it the budget can certainly be increased, just not sure if it's worth it!
