Borisov, did you mean that you
will try out the silver/mica for us?
I assume you can get them easier locally, no?
I have checked out the silver/mica auctions on ebay, it seem like they are mostly 350/500v parts, I would have to get two of larger value and wire them in series...the size of 8 silver/mica will be pretty huge, approaching the size of four 0.1uf FT-3 teflon.
I
might try some 1000v PIO K40Y instead, they are a bit smaller. The question is, is there really a need to do all these testing? I am pretty sure the expensive caps, such as silver/oil and V-cap teflon will outperform any cheaper caps. Since the 001's output stage is the actual bottle-neck in the system and I don't know what mod I can do to it (any suggestions without a complete rebuild?), I will need all the capacitor help available. So I will probably end up trying silver-oil or V-cap, pretty soon.
I couldn't make up my mind, so I bought some lottory tickets today. If I win more than $50 I will try silver/oil, if more than $100 I will go for the V-caps.
Otherwise...... the old plan, FT-3 teflons that I already have
pray for my lottory win guys, if you want to
---- one week later.... hey, you guys didn't pray hard enough or not the right way or somebody prayed backwards. whichever way, I didn't win anything, as usual
so I take it as a sign: no extra fancy caps mods from now on.
