When using capacitors to couple the audio signal inside a preamp or power amplifier design (if it’s not DC coupled) what are your favorites from a sonic standpoint. Paul shares his secrets and favorite caps with us. Have a question you want to ask Paul?
I have finished my memoir! You can go read it now: It’s called 99% True and it is chock full of adventures, debauchery, struggles, heartwarming stories, triumphs and failures, great belly laughs, and a peek inside the high-end audio industry you’ve never known before.
I plan a few surprises for early adopters, so go to and add your name to the list of interested readers. There’s an entire gallery of never before seen photos too.
Can super caps be used in the tank circuit to feed power spikes… Or will they cause the amps to keep running after the unit is shut off
If you what do be a real baller you go with Audio Note Silver Foil Capacitor, but that will empty out moast of our bank accounts really fast and leave us single !
I’m sorry my dear friend Paul. I love your videos and have watched for years but I’ve never seen you truly “drop the proverbial ball” until now. Saying that PS Audio could never use $150 capacitors considering your TOTL Aspens cost more than my 2 cars, was shockingly upsetting to hear you say. I could never afford your Aspens and I’m sure they sound amazing, but wow. Should’ve edited that bad Larry out. In the big picture it doesn’t matter all that much anyway because let’s face it, you CAN NOT do better than DSP and Active Crossovers. Even setting aside sheer convenience, I could put $10,000 worth of some of the best Caps, resistors and inductors on a table and have the best of the best builders put them together in 50 different configurations and I will GUARANTEE you I can get a substantially better SQ from my Acoustas AC650 DSP amp, a Dayton Audio Calibrated measurement mic and A download of REW using RTA. The future of genuinely amazing audio is amongst us friends…….and it’s spelled ACTIVE. Passive crossovers in speaker builds are becoming more and more antiquated by the year.

The best mkp is the smallest size mkp and good price
