Cathode Bypass Capacitors: How they Affect Gain and Tone

In this milestone video (Rusty and my 100th) Cathode Bypass Capacitors (CBC) are discussed, with emphasis on their influence upon both gain and tone. Audio spectra associated with several values of CBC are demonstrated, utilizing the Amp Books Cathode Bypass Capacitor Calculator (see link below), and the diminishing returns associated with higher value CBC's is discussed. As usual, the language is basic and best suited for those seeking a fundamental understanding of tube amplifier circuits.
