I just added a scheme of power supply update and a general scheme of my amplifier to "my system" page.

Hi @grannyring , I installed Mundorf 30uF Mtube capacitors in driver and input tubes B+ instead of old 100uF Nichicons. The first impression was good - warm tonality, fast bass and micro-dynamics. But now I recognize that my amp sounds too forward and too much emphasis mid-range and vocals. The high frequencies extension is not as god as in was with Nichicons too. Does is a typical Mundorf Mtube sound or these capacitors need more break-in time? Regards, Alex |
Alex....since you are using a 4 poles type electrolytic caps. The Clarity tc series are ok. I strongly recommend the Jensen 4 poles. In the 4 poles series ( Mundorf, Clarity, F&t, BHC, Sprague) the Jensen 4 poles IMHO is the best electrolytic caps. Better bass responds, more dynamic, transient, especially the sound stage, imaging will lock better. Remember not all 4 poles are equal; i only recommend the 500volt +. Happy Listening! |
Hi @zipost , Thank you for recommendation. Maybe I will try 4-pole Jensen later. But what is wrong with Mundorf M-tubes? There are polypropylene type two-pole type: http://www.mundorf.com/en/?category=hifi&menu=caps_power&content=mlytic_tubecap There are not the same to 4-pole Mlitics: http://www.mundorf.com/en/?category=hifi&menu=caps_power&content=mlytic_hv_4pin 1.Probably 30uF capacitance is to low for 6f6g driver tubes? 2. Or probably capacitors need more break-in time? 3. Or it is these capacitors specific sound signature that doesn’t much well to my system sound? Regards, Alex. |
