technical question regarding capacitors

[TOGA]

Hi,

I have been confused recently. For ARC, capacitors seems to be big deal,
be it Tefon or that golden ones. But for many other brands I always see the
" there is no coupling capacitor in the signal path ".
So, that makes me confused. ARC use good caps to make good sound, other
don't use caps to make good sound.

Depends on the circuit design. Some designs require a coupling capacitor and some do not. If you have to have one, use a good one.

Most tube amps require coupling capacitors between amplification stages. DC Direct coupled design are more popular with solid state amplifiers. They are usually more complex and require more parts to implement.

Some use transformers instead of caps & some thinks caps are the root of all evil.

They're both evil, but are sometimes necessary evils.
