Deang Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Capacitors “sound the same” in the same way that “linear” amplifiers “sound the same”. They don’t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The only time I've ever heard a capacitor was when it went snap, crackle, pop. Usually they all sound the same otherwise. Or am I missing something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I’m definitely trolling, which is about the only thing this thread is good for. Well, there is a sprinkle here and there ... but no one will ever find any of it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna start by saying what I know about caps would not fill a small sticky note. I certainly don't think all amps sound the same....but.... I do have a ? Do caps all sound the same if they have the same values/specs ? I recall Bob Carvers challenge to stereophile I think it was. He said he could equal Conrad Johnson sound for 1/10 the cost. He challenged anyone to pick the CJ consistently. Stereophile admitted no one could pick the difference, except they preferred the Carver. I post from memory but I think that was the basics of it. I suppose my point was Bob always refuted the high dollar caps etc....But, maybe cheap caps don't last or perform as intended for years/decades?

Fish Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 OK, Now the real reason I'm curious is ....I picked up a nice Sansui set and it sounds great. I mean it's got lots of power (DB wise) and is crazy heavy. So I'm thinkin' is this the original sound, or could it be even better with new caps etc..?

Well that's what I'm thinking but for months it's been solid. I can't imagine what parts are in it but they must have been pretty good to still put out such a great sound with endless power it seems. So, another ? to anyone, is there a good course of action to update it someday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
