I replaced the output coupling caps in my Altmann DAC twice..and now have the .82uf Mundorf silver and oils in place. Rolls off the low end into the 50kohm input of my preamp at 3.9 hz. Everything in everyway became more musical and more detailed. All is more attached to each other and more phase coherent. This is the latest of the mods I have or have had another perform on the Altmann Dac and the battery and capacitor bank now attached. Some Mundorf silver and oils are going to find their way into my Caravelle's as part of the upgrades I am now performing on these speakers. Tom
Anybody familiar with Mundorf silver&oil caps
I am planning to use 3.9uF Mundorf silver oils as output coupling caps in my phono stage. ( The stock coupling caps consists of a paired 4.7uF and 3.3uf polypropylenes )
I have a couple of 0.022uF TFTF V-Caps lying around. Would there be any benefit in bypassing the 3.9uF Mundorf with the smaller V-Caps or am I just wasting my time?
Generally I do not like bypassing coupling caps, but the 3.9uF is somewhat big and I am concerned that it is going to be a little slow.
I know I can always try and see what it sounds like, but the V-Caps are unused, so if there would be zero benefit I’d rather leave them in unused state for the possibility of selling or swapping them out later on.
Comments/thoughts/experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
