not that I have found.Power supply and filter network cap quality/type while audbible for some reason,at least to my ears,does not follow the above rule so only needs to be specced to peak voltage
trying to make chicken soup out of chicken shit mainly and a thing I personally avoid.How many times have you read where two entirely different cap types are paralleled followed by "cleaned up the highs,made it sound better,highly recommended" without ever thinkig about just what actually happened.
That "happened" is you took two parts with an entirely different structure,and entirely different "tone" and entirely different electrical specifications then parralleled them on the theory that the high frequencies will be handled by the
higher quality bypass cap while the lows the shitty cap rather than using a single good cap for everything,all frequencies top to bottom.
the fact that it IS so audible is telling.It tells you cap A sucks big wood is what and means time to crack open the wallet and buy the one cap to satisfy all frequncies of interest which is usally expensive so this is mostly a cost savings mechanism aimed at fooling you much like putting Crager SS Mag wheels on the family station wagon would be.The car would still be a pig but better used for screaming brats and grocery shopping but it would
look fast
Consider the entry of the signal here.You have a single integrated signal stream that is a combination of all the notes in the performance.It enters the cap,the cap filters out the desired frequencies (in this case DC which is below any music) then passes it on to the next stage intact just stripped of the DC.
Consider now bypassing this cap with a "smaller-faster-better" cap to
improve the single crapola capacitor (or perceived crap.Sometimes we need to listen rather than beleive everything we are told).The same signal enters but is now SPLIT into
two distinct signal paths that are recombined at the output-mixed together if for want of a better illustration.
Cap A has great bass response being a very large cap and performs the DC blocking.
Cap B has great treble response so is paralleled across cap A to,and get this,"speed it up" !!!!!
So what happens where this lightening fast capacitor and family station wagon slow pig of a capacitor CROSS in their respective frequency responses ? Does not this area of fast/slow overlap of the excat same frequencies produce two distinct versions of the same note and if so would that not be a distortion in itself ?
Does any one
really want two versions of the same thing in a single circuit ? If yes then why do we not see dual circuitry where a single audio signal is split to solid state amp is used for the lows and a tube amp for the highs which is then "mixed" at the output recombining this back to a single signal again ?
Because it is wrong headed is why no matter what the data says ! You mix two versions of the same thing and you still have two versions and where the overlap occurs a very confused version with each section fighting the other for Alpha Male status ;D
But then this is just my personal opinion and one in the minority so make up YOUR mind what you prefer.Personally I will never again use any combination caps (including MiltCaps) in a series connection ever again because I am sensitive to such things and find when compared head to head the single cap solution just sounds more like MUSIC while the other electronics
That would be cool as hell !
then we could move all the assholes to the outter edge where they would eventually fly off into space as the planet spun,never to be heard from again !
Ever go on a playground merry go 'round when you were a pup ,sitting at the outter edge while some big bruiser spun that sucker ?
Same shit here
ZiiiiiiiiiiingSee ya ! Stefan, wondering why.....
