Still remember the extreme capacitors battle? Well, we need to break-in those capacitors first for a fair judgement. So here it is. I don’t have much time to break-in those capacitors. Around 2-3 hours/night for next 2-3 weeks. I think this should be fine
All those capacitors stacked together:
- Duelund CAST 1uF/630V
- VCap 0.47uF/600V
- Jensen Copper Foil 0.47uF/630V
- Jensen Copper Foil Paper Tube 0.47uF/630V
- Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil 0.47uF/1200V
- Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil 1uF/1200V
All soldered together with WBT Silver Solder, connected to my Aikido via Silver Teflon interconnect. I use white cable heat shrink to cover all the leads (and for safety reason). This leads carry half of B+ or around 130VDC. Enough to shock you if touched.
All those capacitors connected together on my Aikido. Well, they have a long way to go before we can let them fight each other

pak JA, kok gak pake metode arus listrik konstan ajah? apakah karena hasilnya “jelek”?

Hi,
Saya prefer yang natural aja, dengan berbagai jenis musik. Beberapa musik ada yang jadi andalan saya untuk break-in (ada jampi2-nya hahaha).
Ini sih preferensi pribadi saya aja. Mungkin saya aja yang terlalu mengada-ada hehehe…
Thanks.
