Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE:capacitors and wire ...

No DC-links. Clarity TC with Kelvin connections for local PS decoupling; Auricap XO for 6C6 Cathode bypass; Russian alu foil PIO for 6C6 screen bypass; and ClarityCap CMR for 2A3 Cathode bypass. Maybe a bit too much plastic and alu, but hey, there are not many semi-affordable alternatives for those values and the bypasses (apparently) don't sound typically metalised poly.

I've tried to connect components lead-to-lead, where practical... This stuff is at the margins and I've no idea of its contribution to the sound quality - please don't take anything I post here as a suggestion. :)

I prefer working with the solid core - the Alphawire is super nice and I'll be using it in more in some locations. Stranded is a bit of a PITA.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
91.
