Would you suggest that I request a return on the T3, and go for something a little more powerful, maybe? A headsix or even an ALO Rx?

Your response about the LOD potentially being a problem had me interested though, so I tested out the T3 using the headphone jack, and have since found that it is perfectly fine all the way up the volume dial, so I'm thinking that there MUST be a problem with the LOD after all. I guess it's time to open it up and take a squidge at the lines. |
Edit 1: I just tore apart the LOD cable: I don't see ANYTHING resembling a capacitor anywhere. From the looks of it, there's a 1kOhm +5% resistor, and that's it. I'm guessing this is the problem. Edit 2: The LOD cable works fine inside a non modded ipod 5.5g and Nano. I've also opened up the diyMOD ipod, seems in order. |

Hi , im new here. Im getting ready to do my first diyMOD and i have a few questions...
1) i have some nichilon muse and elna caps laying around, both 6.3v 47uf, which is better?
2) how does the farad and voltage rating affect performance?would higher be better
3) can i use different caps beside electrolytic capacitors?
4) why are oil caps so much better for audio than the other
5) would connecting the caps in parallel do anything for perfomance?
6) What caps would you guys reccomend for an internal diymod and an external diymod

1) Depends on your taste, your entire system.
2) The "farads", rather, the capacitance affects the corner frequency of the high pass filter. Google "high pass filter."
3) Sure can.
4) I think it has something to do with the high frequency response. Electrolytics are bassy, but don't handle the highs very well. Films and oils are quicker, so it has better high response. Of course, this is all subjective and totally depends on your system and sound preferences.
5) Sure. It's a common practice around here, using a large cap, eg. electrolytic, for the low frequency response, and bypassing with a film cap for better highs. It's up to you if it's a better sound.
6) For internal, a lot of 6.3V 'lytics will work, but depending on the input impedance of your amplifier, you can use smaller caps. For external diyMods, you can use almost anything you want. The limit is your budget. There are too many to choose from.
