RE: The caps in question

I think we're in agreement on the large cap and solid state amplifier thing.

What I was questioning was

"A 1.2uF output cap (not to mention 10uF) creates a long time constant that can aggravate blocking effects at the input stage of many tube amps. Even if the design of the amplifier is such that grid current is never drawn on peaks, it's still a system mismatch."

10uF too big, got that. It was the rest about blocking at the input. Not ever read about that before under those conditions for a 1uF cap.

Or have I missed something?
