Can anyone help me by identifying which caps are which in my amp?
Thanks in advance! |

Hey pstrisik, the large silver Jantzen cap beside the power trans is a filter cap, the large red cap beside the choke is another filter cap, the two smaller red caps are the bias caps along with the little black caps that are on top of them and of course the two jantzens down front are the coupling caps...straitwire

Peter, The coupling caps are the pair of Silver Zs. They couple the driver to the output tubes. They are the only ones which pass audio signal. The other caps deal with power filtration. Others can correct or elaborate. My understanding is meager. |

Thanks straitwire and BearCityUSA. Which are the typically referred to as "bypass caps".
Edit: Maybe you meant bypass instead of bias? Last edited by pstrisik; 10-13-2018 at 11:55 AM. |

Hey pstrisik, I use the term filter cap because they are connected to ground, and when I said bias caps I meant the output tubes cathode bypass caps...straitwire

Sold the Inspire KT150 Hot Rod today to a real nice guy who's downsizing to a condo. This lower power amp gave me a chance to test/modify some of my own custom speaker configurations. Some sort of custom monoblocks are next, as tbd.
Hats off to the truly dedicated members here who share ideas and information to make this thread interesting for existing and new owners. It's been fun, Thanks. |
