Caps in Aleph 60

[tortello]

Blschuler, Mr. Pass, and you all:
thanks for the feedback ( but no negative at all)!!
I'll try a capacitor-less version as soon as possible, that is when a friend of mine will decide to give my amps back!
A daunting task, I fear...

Discussion about caps reminded me ...Improved Alephs have zener diodes in the input ( reason is clear).But the diodes add more capacitance to the gate input, with their negatives ( bandwith) in conjunction with hight value of resistors. Is it right?

Thank you all , It was nice to learn some more things

If you would like to remove the Zeners from the input, you can do so, but be careful hooking the circuit to anything else. Make sure both pieces (and your own body) are at the same potential before hooking things up.
An alternative would be to incorporate a mute that shorts the input to ground. That way any static charges would not reach the MOSFET gate. This would also give you the option of muting the amp while it's on. The relay need not be in the signal path.

Yes, I was thinking about it. But I am afraid of static charge too. I don´t want to do such "dangerous experiments" without any sonic benifit. Any experience??
