Caps upgrade

[Larpy]

Here's a question: if a cathode bypass capacitor is used to block the AC signal from going to ground (which is my admittedly limited understanding of why they're used), why would changing from an electrolytic to a poly cap make a sonic difference?  The musical signal doesn't actually pass through a cathode bypass cap, right?

Capacitors are a (relatively) short circuit to AC but do not pass DC current to ground.

Ordered the Kaiju yesterday, ordered the 100uf caps today:)
I’ll be building it stock, than adding caps in different times. I’ll report back in about 1 or 2 months.

Thanks for your order!

They fit.

I know this is an old topic but is it even possible to install the DC filament with those massive capacitors installed?

[Larpy]

Worked for me.

Nice, good to know.
