Bio: I am really a novice builder relative to most out there and more as a hobby but I guess you can say a serious hobby. I have built the Ultimate amp starting from a JCM800 with power scaling, extra gain stage, aux power supply, and modified to take any octal power tube based on Kevin's works. This amp is really the latest and greatest for me and galactic grounding from TUT book and am extremely happy with the build. Ultra quiet and sounds awesome the way I like it.

Hi,

I found this post interesting. Concerning ceramic disc caps i have been trying to obtain some from digikey and mouser but it seems the lead lengths are much shorter to fit them into the turret spacings I got. unless I piggyback them onto another component. I settled for some mica caps but I heard also people don't like them for some reason and they have a particular "tone". Any thoughts on the sound of mica vs ceramic disc's? And why some people prefer the ceramic disc's? Is it for the reasons above? Like the ceramic "grit".
