6 FAQs about [Power tube coupling capacitor]
What is a coupling capacitor?
The coupling capacitor is directly in the signal path and so it is a very important component, and we want to use something high quality that will pass the signal without noise or distortion. Some type of film capacitor is best, and there are very high-end audiophile grade coupling capacitors produced, some at outrageous prices.
What does a leaky coupling capacitor do?
A leaky coupling capacitor lets current through from the preceeding stage and upsets the DC bias, usually turning the tube on so hard that no signal can pass through it. A power tube with a leaky or shorted coupling capacitor may blow fuses cause low power or excess hum, or kill transformers.
Which audio coupling capacitor should I buy?
They usually choose the under $1 coupling capacitors that everyone else uses. Although some vintage audio coupling capacitors sound good, some newer capacitors will make a vintage amplifier sound incredible. The audio coupling capacitor is everything in a tube amplifier.
Do vintage audio coupling capacitors sound good?
Although some vintage audio coupling capacitors sound good, some newer capacitors will make a vintage amplifier sound incredible. The audio coupling capacitor is everything in a tube amplifier. The second error is just rebuilding the power supply back to factory specifications.
What are c9 & C11 capacitors?
C9 and C11 are the coupling caps. In this design the coupling caps work into an almost purely resistive load. This makes the coupling capacitors far less critical than they are in a conventional amplifier design. It is still an important capacitor and a low quality capacitor will still have a detrimental effect on the sound.
Will reducing the coupling capacitor reduce the bass response?
Yes, reducing the coupling capacitor will reduce the bass-response. Technically, the capacitor and the output impedance of the tube-stage forms a simple high-pass filter. Your circuit is very typical: You have the 100k plate resistor. Along with the internal resistance of the triode, that roughly gives an output impedance of 50k Ohm.
