Question for Dr. Z (opinions on caps, etc.)

11/13/1999 1:30 AM
MJ Harnish	Question for Dr. Z (opinions on caps, etc.) Mike, You have the reputation of having done quite a bit of experimenting with various components to find the right combo for each amp. I was wondering if you could fill us in on your thoughts, opinions, or experiences on components. More specificially: 1) Resistors: MF, CF, or CC? 2) Caps: various flavors of OD, oil caps, Polyprop., etc.? 3) Wire: Solid or strand? We seem to discuss this stuff quite a bit around here and everyone's got a different opinion, but I thought it would be interesting to see what the Dr.'s opinions were... Thanks. MJ

Mike,
You have the reputation of having done quite a bit of experimenting with various components to find the right combo for each amp. I was wondering if you could fill us in on your thoughts, opinions, or experiences on components.

More specificially:
1) Resistors: MF, CF, or CC?

2) Caps: various flavors of OD, oil caps, Polyprop., etc.?

3) Wire: Solid or strand?

We seem to discuss this stuff quite a bit around here and everyone's got a different opinion, but I thought it would be interesting to see what the Dr.'s opinions were...

Thanks.
