The amp sounds great when allowed to breathe (but it is really, really loud, more than I bargained for). I recently built a Bassman with film caps in the filter section. I had not noticed any change in the quality of F&T caps over the past 3 years - though in fairness I've only been building amps for 6 years now, and I don't build enough to have a good sampling. Maybe look up his web site and look at the different models to find what he has to say about it? I'd have to sort through a huge stack to find the issue. Carr said in an interview in Tone Quest Repot mag, something about how fast they respond, and that's why he used in in certain builds/models. Which would be good, cause their very big compared to lytic caps.Ĭarr amps has a model or 2 that uses them, guys seem to love them, so. They also said, if you go with film caps, you can often use a smaller value than the lytic for the same spot in the PSU filter chain. What they say you'll hear is 'there's something missing.' This would line up with a link that Silvergun posted on an experiment someone did with a regulated PSU in a tweed Bassman. And goes as far as taking the B+ out for the chain from the last of the 5 || caps, claiming it's cleaner their than at the input/1st cap. KOC said he uses 5 20uf to replace a 100uF in his builds to lessen this distortion some. The larger the value cap the more it distorts. They respond faster than lytics and they don't distort on the hi/low ends of the frequency spectrum like lytics do. So it was for the size of the can, with a modern construction lytic cap inside.įilm caps do last forever, but they say, over at KOC's web site, guys who have used them in builds, that they will change the sound and feel of the amp some. The size made it easy to just pop them in with out messing around.

Story goes that the reason we still have these Sprague caps is because the US military placed orders for these caps because of the size to replace aged lytic caps in tube gear they still have. I cut a 'newer' Sprague open some years ago and the cap inside was/is much smaller than the shell. I stopped using Sprague's because of this and have had no problems with F&T caps. Sprague caps, while very good, have gone through the roof in price and their larger in size the F&T caps.

Bezos has said he sells at least $1 billion of Amazon stock a year to fund his rocket startup, Blue Origin, and in 2020 he launched the $10 billion Earth Fund to combat the effects of climate change.I read recently, don't remember where, that F&T sold to another company. Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez in August pledged $100 million to recovery efforts in Maui after deadly wildfires ravaged the Hawaiian island. Since stepping down as CEO of Amazon in 2021, Bezos has accelerated his charitable giving, and has said he plans to give away much of his fortune in his lifetime. A representative for Bezos didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.īezos - who is the third-richest person in the world, with a net worth of around $170 billion, according to Bloomberg - still owns about 988 million Amazon shares, which amounts to a nearly 10% stake in the company. It's unclear who Bezos donated the shares to. The transactions were marked as contributions to nonprofit organizations, the filing states. It comes after Bezos last week unloaded about $240 million worth of Amazon shares, according to financial filings.
