In Reply to: Parallel output capacitors, yes or posted by Alex on July 19, 2005 at 01:32:43:
In general, smaller capacitors have less parasitic inductance and a higher electrical self-resonance frequency. They also have less weight and would have a higher mechanical resonance frequency. These factors might explain why the designer chose to use two smaller instead of a single larger capacitor.Removing one of them will increase the low frequency roll-off point and diminish your bass. This might not be an issue for you if your system does not reproduce deep bass. However, doing this will not improve your treble. As other posters have said, there is a lot of difference in apparent performance ('sound') of coupling capacitors, so you can experiment to find capacitors that are more to your taste.
Please describe your treble problems in more detail. They might be caused by some other interaction in your system. Have you had better performance in the past with different equipment?
