In the Thread: Additive capacitance: mixing oils and films?
Post Subject: vitamin q and a hovland, to be precise!Posted by stuck.wilson on: 6/27/2007

mixing those two seems to bring out  some of the best of both, so far!

the capacitor (or two, as the case may be) is an 8uF combo- 2 4uF caps-- one VQ, one hovland musicap.  i HAVE 8uF of vitamin q, but unfortunately, one 4uF is a 400VAC, the other 4uF is a monstrous 1000v..  which i've used.. but it's VERY noisy..  i'm not certain why, other than the fact that it's probably never going to fully charge under home listening!  that's the reason i mixed them in the first place-- as i have 9uF of hovlands- 1 too many...  which was putting a nasty bump in the middle that made violins sound like they were made of bell brass...

i'll scavenge the rest of my VQ's together (i have a few 1 mics around..) and see what i come up with!  thanks romy-
