Blackgate on Gainclone.

5150ed · 29th July 2006, 01:10 PM

I just replace 2200uf Nichicon HE with 1000uf Blackgate Standard and the result is very well.
Big improvement on mid, high, sound stage, depth, and space.

So I wondering have anyone tried Blackgate N on gainclone, and what is the result???

Coz from my experience with Blackgate on CD player modification and tube amp, N series win standard by far magin.

I was using BG STD 1000/50 for two years or so, then I switched to BG N 1000/50 and then to battery power with BG N 47/50. Currently I'm using AC power with BG N 100/50 at the chip and BG STD 1000/50 at the bridges. To me, that's the best combination so far.

Higher values of BG N make the sound too laid back, a bit "mushy". 100uF is about the right capacitance to present all the virtues of type N and 1000u BG STD provide bottom end extension.

Dear Peter,
What do u mean by using AC power with BG N 100/50V???

Can u draw me the schematic?

It means that after batteries I switched back to AC power (transformer). It's so simple that schematic is not needed. Small caps are directly a tthe chip, bigger caps are close to rectifiers.

I have tried 100uf Blackgate N with 1000uf Standard for 30 hours, it sounds so muddy, lack of bass, triple and dynamic.

How long would the cap need to be break in???

Can anyone tell me how to used Blackgate N in Gainclone PS?

Should I connect it them polarized cap or all negative leg [Non-polar Print] to ground on both side?
