… but there is no one to ask how mater it is…

Seems to me a small film cap added to a large electrolytic solves most of the sonic issues people complain about re the large caps.

Hm, I do not know. I think if good caps used then the bypass might not be necessary. I am big fun of Nichikon capacitors, to me they are absolutely as good as capacitors should be. The Super Milq’s B+ for 6C33C uses 350V/15.000uF for each tube. A year or so ago I did bypass those big caps with 2uF polypropylene caps. I use the 590Cudes, the caps I know very well and that I trust to serve coupling duty. So, I bypassed the big Nichikon with Cubs…the 2uF was the right value… and I can NOT report that I heard any improvement or any serious difference. I decided to keep the Cubes in there but… only because I have spent efforts to put them in – there is no other auditable reasons.

As I said I can’t not judge if the excessive amount of last cap eliminates the sonic contributions of the elements before the caps. However this vision dose sounds reasonable to me. Evan if I change my 100uF Ansar to 3.000 Nichicon and get right Sound then would it be the amount of capacitate or the time of capacitate? I think I need to change the Ansar to 100uF Nichicon… no matter how much I hate those experiments….

I still wish that the problem would be with caps and it would be easier to replace or to add…
