Tone Caps Follow-up

I’ve received a lot of questions and comments about my tone cap videos part 1 and part 2.

In this video (split into two parts due to YouTube length limits), I answer some of those questions, and record some more examples.   I talk about 50’s versus modern wiring, my recording setup and how the audio is processed, and how to do double-blind testing.  I measure the cap values, and record another set of examples, now including ceramic caps and distorted examples.

Correction: in the video at 3:34, I misspoke- the cutoff frequency doesn’t actually change. Just the amount of signal passed through the cap. On 10, very little signal passes through the cap to ground.
