Re: Amps - Whats in em and why?

Polypropylene caps are superior to electrolytics in the signal path of an amp as far as SQ is concerned.This would be true for power supplies also, but polys would be huge in size in the values generally used, which is why ‘lytics are used.

Amps - Whats in em and why?

Afternoon all, I'm pretty lost when it comes to all the technical jingo that many of you guys can talk, especially on the DIY threads. Although I do like to read em I wouldn't mind understanding a bit more. So this had me thinking when I read some of the latest bumf on a new amplifier to be released...
