That would be ~48uF on the output... so, 47uF nominal would work. If you are okay with f3 of 16 Hz, then 33uF would be fine. 22Hz would be 24 Hz, etc. So, < $100 for Mundorf M-Cap... Mundorf Tube-Cap would even be an option. I think this would be a reasonable next step. Then take it back and compare with Pete's amp and get some more feedback from the crew |
