The role of the Sodding Great Capacitor in audio has been much neglected of late. Also, where the SGC is used, as in the PSU of many amps for example, its value is debatable, as demonstrated by my superb LFD integrated which has SBF
(Small but Beautifully Formed) capacitors and is all the better for it.
What is needed is for somebody like Hi Fi World or a similarly geeky publication to run one of their 'retro is good' type articles on 'SGC in Audio Mains Supply Applications'. I'm sure my old mate Haden would be up for a laugh on that. Once they've got everybody all fired up about SGC, they can then go on to offer DIY projects, as well as identifying fab sounding 'lost' SGCs of great rarity and value, ( Maplin Bankrupt Stock springs to mind..). These can then be sold for much money, whilst meanwhile a whole new industry in 'Re-Sleeved', and even newly manufactured SBCs will explode into the Audio world. The possibilities are limitless.. 'Cryogenically treated SBCs' 'Pre soaked' SBCs and I'm sure Tigerjones would be interested in expanding his Cable Massage Service to the err.. 'Manipulation' of SBCs..
I think we're onto a winner here...
