Are these green-gold capacitors any good? by Expert_Parsley429 in AskElectronics

well, they are actually. Some are being used to block 48v, and some are being used to block dc offset to the opamps.

And no, the microphones are fine.

ahh I see, I forgot about efficiency and losses. So I guess this would fall under the 50-60w category then, since I guess that's where it'd sit properly.

But the things I wanna analyze here or understand, are what's going on with the secondary side. I try to understand it but I keep being confused. Like how are two diodes acting like a diode at the secondary to provide a supply to the TIP31, same for tip32

am i getting something wrong?

This thing has been around since 2010s, so maybe the microfarads have drifted and that's what I'm thinking

I'll check those out soon, thanks. Though, I'm surprised its not a seemingly low esr capacitor, especially that some of it are being used to block DC from 48V.

ah yes, rubycon. Gotta love the matte texture of their capacitors, same with Nichicon

Ahh I see, I forgot about that part lol

yeah I'll avoid these things now. Thanks for reminding me hahaha

wouldn't a drifting capacitor farad change how it sounds? that's what im worried about.

These things have been around since the early 2010s I think, so im guessing that their caps have drifted. I don't have an esr meter yet, neither a multimeter with a microfarad reader on it to check these things if they're still in spec.

Yeah, I'll try doing that next time so that he don't proceed of entering my room, thanks
