I've upped my on-chip capacitance. Up Yours!

Haaaaha! My coworker ... 15 years ago told me a joke with that in it and I've been waiting ....

I've upped my on-chip capacitance! Panasonic THA 15,000uF, 63V



Up Yours!

😀

P.S. All Hail the Great AMT Heil!

Whats the point it still remains total rubbish.

I've tried similar and frankly there is clear audible result/ advantage in increased capacitance. Sounds are surprisingly good
Try it and listen ...then disparage 🙂

Strange... according to "theory" increasing the caps (2x1000u -> 2x10000u) in my pre-amp also would be to no avail... sound and soundstage however did improve. 😎

I guess the lowered impedance of the psu is audible, even at low current demand..

Chipamps can sound great, I have made few inverting with Jfet buffer on the front, and the results is excelent sound.
I am working on transconductance version.
Any idea if regulated power supply improves the sound of chipamp? Anybody did direct comparison?

 

[Bare]

There have been several threads were genuine improvement was noted when the supply was regulated. Can't re identify them off hand tho 😱
Search a bit?

And there are who say that regulating kills the sound.
I have one regulated and one unregulated, but different chips. Both sound great. So nobody can tell I chose sides 😀
Still, big caps are a must.

IMHO: Looks like one of the caps on top is a puff. Should be replaced to be safe.

puf used to mean a low pico-Farad capacitor.
What do you mean?

I think he means its puffed up, swolen, bulging...ready to explode
