In Reply to: Removing the input caps from my SS amp. How to do it?? posted by RauSen on June 28, 2007 at 12:56:29:
As others have said, you need to check the design of the amp and preamp to know how to proceed.
In most solid state power amps that I have worked on the input is at ground potential and the input cap is not necessary. The prevalence of the input cap is to minimize damage to the power amp and/or loudspeakers due to a preamp fault.
The output cap in the preamp is more likely to be required due to DC voltage at the output of the preamp. This depends on design.
You can easily replace the caps with a higher quality part. Use film types if space permits. If you are forced to stay with electrolytic caps due to space constraints try tantalum types, they sound better that typical aluminum types.
