Yeah, it gets complicated. Good luck, and keep us posted!

For the cherry on the cake set DVM that measures diode drop (some got it) and find 2 Vbe matched BC550 & 560.
Practical benefit? Next to nothing. Aesthetic ritualistic benefit? Priceless.

*9V,1.5V,1.5V batteries in series that are common types, maybe already in remote controls on the coffee table, will do for 12V total. And don't post pics from the parking space tapping on the car's stuff.

I might think sometimes that you shouldnt tell thise maniac partytricks because one day someone might take you seriously Salas. Ofcourse I'm just posting those pix educationally to what could happen if someone really took you seriously.

I replaced obbligato premium gold 4.7 uF with K75 only 2.2 uF (no place for other 2.2 uF) bypassed FT-3 0.1 In my coupling application - I get enough bass do you recommend to use other 2.2 cap with FT-3 0.1
there are imrovement In highs but I think that the sound Is somehow aggresive and In your face - can that effect be fixed when caps get burned In

[Salas]

That combination is smooth, weighty, and transparent in my experience. What is the amp and speakers you play music with? To better quantify the caps signature to your liking and system tonal synergy let the K75 play alone, just lift one link to each FT-3. What are the perceived changes? K75 alone is rather rounder and darker. If the tone is still upfront you may need match your former uF value first to say for sure.

thank you for reply
I use PCM63 - modifyed Pass D1 I/V I/U stage D1 clone with 2sk389 finetuned... - stepped 20K pot - UGS V3 - F5 - Infinity Kappa 90

[Salas]

Is there gain in the UGS V3?

[samoloko]

I use that schema UGS adventures

[Salas]

There is gain then. Which is good for F5 on your speakers. OK do the K75 alone test first. Some combination should work best for you. Do you see space for your Obbli plus the K75 in your box for another experiment with higher coupling uF value?

[samoloko]

thank you for support

well I will find place

now I only use 2.2 K75 bypassed with 0.1 FT-3 as there Is plenty of bass
do you think It will be right to add other 2.2 uF K75 and after that adding obbligato which Is 4.7 uF
