Okay, thanks for all the info!

The first few chapters of that book should be of interest.

A decoupling capacitor connects from a particular circuit node (often the power supply) to ground,
to provide a low inductance path.

The DC blocking capacitors prevent DC voltages from appearing at the following circuit node,
which is often the input of the following stage, or else the output terminal.

So in this case 100V/35V is the decoupling capacitor, and the DC blocking capacitor is the 0.1uF on the Hi-pass output, and 2uF on the Low-pass output. Must be Bi-polar caps for best protection, as I understand it.

Yes.

Of course, they could also be nonpolar film capacitors.

Ever look at a circuit and wonder why they loaded all that junk onto it?
