CAPS

I'm still waiting for Lonewolf to bring his Modwright over.

I'll "round it up" this week....and if you want I can give you two others to try as well.

 
Just for the day

You can hold on to them for awhile to compare....

Preamps are everywhere and always available......certain speakers are not.

Good advice, thanks Chris.

  Back to caps. looking to try some juicy fruit flavored caps in my amps. Using V-cap Teflons now. There are two caps. An input coupling and driver to output coupling cap. The values are .1 and .47. Yes rich, fat and juicy any suggestions besides PIO in oil or Obbligato. The input tube is a Mullard 6DJ8 and the driver is a Tungsol 5687 output GE 211.  Thanks .

What about transformers?

  The 211 is transformer coulped output.

What about using input transformer and interstage coupling transformer in place of the coupling capacitors?

[topround]

Karl has some Lundahl input transformers, and I have some sowter interstage tranformers potted in Mu metal.
If you want to give them a try.

It will require someone with tube circuit design experience to do it, since interstage impedances are critical. Whereas swapping in caps is theoretically easy.

I always turn to this ongoing review for cap descriptions:

Also, don't forget Jon L's famous cap comparisons on AC:

I have not personally used these caps but my friend who is a cap whore loves the new Jupiter HT's.
