Hey guys.
On several amps there are ceramic tone caps. I read those tend to be microphonic, but still they seem to be the ticket on some amps.. supro for example. What is the purpose exactly.
And am I correct that the 470p is the ceramic version of a mica 500p? I never saw a mica 470p...

Class 2 ceramic caps have various effects / significant imperfections, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_capacitor
Of course that could make them just the ticket, we’re not dealing with hifi here :icon_biggrin:
