I know, it's all very confusing. I never said every cap position is audible btw. All about circuit implementation. I know, I never made a statement regarding your position. Do you find it more confusing as you get older Alan? |

Caps are like any other part, you have to choose an adequately specified part for the task at hand, but tales of their huge audibility are massively overplayed. Sure, feedback caps are pretty audible, probably followed by PSU caps and lastly crossover caps. I struggle with the thought that every cap in every position in an amp is audible. I've completely recapped gear before, 100+ caps and the sound didn't change at all. There's some super sterile SS stuff out there with plenty of NFB in the mix, but similarly there's plenty of good SS stuff with bags full of NFB that doesn't sound like that. You seem to be a man that knows what the word on the streets is, and what's going down... Any thoughts on nested feedback? Back in the late 70s there was an article in Everyday Electronics covering the subject. Out of curiosity I gave it ago on my power amp at the time (couple of Maplin's 50W DIY Hi-Fi Amps). It did result in a change in sound. Not sure now but I think it centred around vocals sounding a bit more prominent. Hard to say that it was an obvious improvement, rather than just sounding a bit different. After a bit play with it, I just returned to the standard feedback loop. Tantalum capacitors used in local supply decoupling with capacitors having values of say 470uF? Some say yes, and some say no. I know they're not used for having a low ESR value. |
