Quality of Cathode bypass caps and resistors.

Post by rocketeer »

Has anyone done any research per the quality of cathode bypass caps in the circuit?

It's very apparent that resistor quality/type affects noise down line in audio signal path parts of a circuit as well as coupling cap quality/type affects tone.

Are cathode caps and associated resistors actually in the audio path and affect tone/noise?

Funny I just built a Zwreck called the Rocketeer with that same logo going on the faceplate. :)

I have not researched the bypass cap type in an amp but use sprague mostly I believe.
