What type of cap do you think sounds best and why?
Originally posted by rickcr42 Capacitors are your friend-try making a tone control/filter/crossfeed without one ! What about RIAA EQ networks ? Speaker crossovers ? RF compensation ? You think there are no caps in those opamps ? Oh yeah there are ! They hide even better in there ! (the compensation that sets bandwidth and slewing) While fully balanced discrete designs with matched devices have their strong points there are many times i will take the simple capacitor coupled single ended class-a single stage device ,be it tube or solid state , over the complex All methods are valid if the implementation is done correctly Hey pinkster ,you forgot teflon man |

In addition Blind ABX Listening tests have proven to be so stressful to the Listener that value Judgments over a wide selection of the Population have difficulty in such a stress test. |
While Feedback and the power supply are indeed part of the signal path they are secondary as opposed to primary paths |
