How do i determine if I'm going to need bypass caps? what bypass caps would you recommend? Thanks!!
Since the cathode caps are cheap, it makes betybe sense to get electrolytics that are either known or meant to be "audio quality"...
So ditch those electrolytics you memtiment,
for either "Kaisie" caps, or other known Better ones,
like Jensen "audio grade" caps...
Cheaper than trying to fix with bypass.
Still with a size of 1000uf,
I would still add a bypass.
If it were 330uf or less, I wouldnt bother.
Yet, Since we trying to push this amp performance,
A bypass cap of small size is still recommended.
Even smaller than .1uf is good for bypassing with the better "audiofile" electrolytics, like even half value of that.
We just helping the top end transients..
Just ballpark figures are ok,
wich are usually same with many similar designs..
I have to redo my other main amp like this to try boost its performance more...
