In Reply to: Curious about the purpose of by-pass capacitors posted by gjm on April 12, 2000 at 08:54:12:
It is very common for power supply electrolytic capacitors to be bypassed by much smaller film units. Doing this has several benefits. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) and the inductance of a "small" film capacitor are low; while the ESR and inductance of P/S electrolytic capacitors is significant. When a small film capacitor is connected in parallel with a large electrolytic capacitor, both the ESR and the inductance of the combination are less than that of either unit alone.The net result of bypassing 'lytic caps is clearly better sound.
