Post Subject: V-CapsPosted by Paul S on: 5/1/2021
What’s with audiophiles and their fancy, expensive
capacitors, anyway? You might think I have an answer to that question, since I
recently (a couple of months ago) swapped fancy new V-Caps into the output
positions in my K&K phono stage.
However, the only “reason” I had to do it was curiosity. In this case, I used
4.7 uF ODAM caps “bypassed” by .1 uF CU/Teflon caps. Although this resulted in
fewer uFs than I had before, yet I now get more, more articulate, and lower LF, including more under tones, and the sound field is “more realistic”, with more and generally quieter
“space”, especially “depth”, and better focused and localized sound in that
space. And that’s about it. Was it “worth it"? I guess. I’m not switching the
old (SoniCap) caps back in, that’s for sure.>>
