#Bi polar caps in signal path series

Series caps would make a superior non polar cap than any of the pre I would expect using a pair of Panasonic FM series or Rubycon Z You can further experiment byĪdding a polarization voltage to the juction of the + pins. Polarized cap by tying the two + input pins of the caps together to If the dc shifts excessivly you can 'create' a If not, place the polarized caps with the + pin Rotate pots and push switches to determine if If you use polarizedĮlectrolytics, first use a VOM to determine the side of the cap which > FC series, any suggestions on types I could use, or are they > for the whole thing, but it appears as though there aren't any in the > I'm taking on my first recap project, and I've noticed several Archived from groups: ( More (Jack) wrote in message news.
