King/Cello in the house !

As Charlie stated in the last email, the caps in the last 10-12 units have the output caps bypassed. When Myles and I listened to the two K/C preamps last year, we both agreed that the Mundorf capped unit was considerably better sounding. We are only talking about various input caps in this discussion.

Perfect

so Rockitman's did have output caps bypassed (which IMO is the way to get the best sound)

I'm learning something new everyday. That's a good thing. Thanks Steve.

Let me assure you Christian that my system is far from colored .

Myles,

I was in know way suggesting your system or anyone's else's is colored in the negative sense. First off I haven'y heard your system, secondly... What I am trying to say is everyone's system sounds different. Certain caps may have a more pleasing sound than other's depending on your system, room and ears. Down the road I may look into playing with input caps. I think it's worth it to give them a chance to fully break-in. They sound great already (in my system).

Best,

Chris

Output caps

For the last time(I hope)- All K/C preamps made in the last 3 years have bypassed caps in the output(no capacitor connected).

I have Mundorf Silver/oil input caps on my unit. There is probably a better sounding capacitor, but I'm going to stick with the 'dorfs.

I have to admit I am confused... bypassed cap means to me running a really tiny capacitor parallel with the larger one... on the other hand, "no capacitor connected" - I don't know how to interpret that... So is there is an output capacitor at all, or is there is one but bypassed with a smaller one, or something else?

Thanks

Yes I agree with you Peter. AFAIK, mine has the output caps bypassed with 1 uF Mundorfs--although Charlie would like me to hear his unit without any output caps at all. I'm game since it's an easily reversible situation
