| There are different capacitances to match the different resistances found in the various circuits. Capacitor drain rate affects low frequency passage and or supression. I do not know why, but as is typical, my brain is going blank on the exact term for this phenomenon. The .05 MFD caps may work well, but performance will most likely be affected in one way or another. Reduction in capactance in one of the cathode bias circuits may reduce bass response (I believe that it is in the detector). Reduction of capacitance in filter circuits may also reduce bass response, or make the circuit become unstable at low frequencies. T. |
