Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: tube synth diy

Hey all... I'm new here, though I haunt AH and SDIY now and again (reckon there's some overlap between people on this list and those).

I'm looking to build some of Eric Barbour's designs from Ken Stone's site, and was wondering about how hefty my coupling capacitors should be.

Seems that caps in other tube designs, synths or amps etc., are chosen based on minimum DC voltage x 2, what's available in standard rating values, and what physically fits in the layout/enclosure.

That sound about right? Or am in "If you have to ask, you shouldn't try it yet" territory?
