Dear Jeffrey,

Thank you, this is very helpful but...

I checked my amp, and the first coupling cap (0.22uf) is driving a 2200 ohm load and the second cap (0.47uf) is driving a 3300 ohm load.

Actually the first coupling cap drives two resistors of 2200 ohm in parallel since the second stage uses a double triode (5687) with both sections paralleled.

According to your formula this translates to 328hz of the 0.22uf cap driving a 2200ohm resistor and 102hz for the 0.47uf driving the 3300ohm resistor.

Quite a bit of 1.5hz.

Either I have the resistor values wrong, (my ohmmeter failed so I can't check), my math fails or something else is going on.

Why between 0.7 and 1.5Hz btw?
