You must have hit ENTER, about the time I did! BTW: as wonderful as the 805C is; it would be a shame to use anything less that a REALLY superb coupling cap. According to the schematic; both SET tubes are using a .22uF/450V coupling cap. the final output tube(845) has a 2uF cap, in parallel with the .22 oil filled. You needn't worry about the, "eye" tube(obviously). If you upgrade those .22's; you should realize a substantial improvement(ie: soundstage/more organic sound/cleaner & more extended high freqs, sans stridency).
Coupling cap upgrade for Cary CAD-805C help
Hi all,
I want to change coupling caps in this monos to Jensen or Mundorf.
1- My question is how many caps total ? Cary site list 3 for 805AE - mine is 805C
2- Value of the caps are 47 microfarad 450V - I don't seem to find this value in partsconnexion and other online store. Only 0.47 microfarad available. Any comment?
3- Where I can locate these caps. Note: 805C has only one 6SL7
Many thanks
