Re: Any reason NOT to bypass PS caps?

"Don't touching anything around switching power supplies. They are somehow optimised around frequency/capacitence. Change it and it may misbehave, perhaps causing injuries/damage!"


"By using caps with good transient response for PS bypass, you'll add another layer of RFI suppression (by providing an alternate path to ground for RFI - other than through the B+ into your output signal....)."

These statements prove what the more experienced of us on AA already know...many posters here have no technical education and are just parroting what they've picked up on the Web, especially from self-interested manufacturers' sites. Folks, please take some basic electronics courses and then come back to the forums. And look into double-blind testing...not perfect but much better than gossip and superstition.
