Dumbleator Filtering

Post by Charlie Wilson »

Hello, I am going way back on this question. The main filtering everyone including myself seems to be using are the two 47uf in series per the schematic in the file section. However, I found a real early Brandon post where he stated that the first two caps were 100uf. So I am wondering, did we decide somewhere along the way that 25(ish)uf total filtering sounded better than the 50uf? I am assuming that Brandon was the one who was in that original Dumbleator.

Hello Charlie,

The first two caps of the Dumbelator in the photo I posted are 47 micro as shown in the schematic Brandon posted :D

Thank you sir. Yeah I have built a few Dumbleators with the 47uf caps with good results. Not sure why I started to wonder about that other than seeing Brandons original post where he stated that they were 100uf. However, that post was almost 20 years ago. :D
