Capacitors in Audio Circuits: Part 2

In this Part 2 video of our Capacitors series, we discuss concepts such as Efficiency, Q Factor, ESR, DC Leakage, Series vs Parallel wiring, Capacitive Reactance, and Frequency Discrimination. Explanations are in basic language for viewers of all levels of understanding.

If you enjoy videos featuring vintage tube amplifiers, classic antique jukeboxes, electromechanical devices, handbuilt amps, and clear technical presentations of electronic principles, then please subscribe to our channel.

Thanks !!!

You’re going to go down in the history books uncle Doug. You’re a true American hero

First thing I do when I click into one of Uncle Doug's videos is hit the like button, because I know it is going to be good and informative and not to mention entertaining due to the guests that pop in and out.

Sir, you are a truly gifted teacher. Thank you so much for your videos!

Gŕeat 2nd video Doug! Thanks for passing your knowledge down. 🤗

[davebird]

Uncle Doug I love your analogy with Rusty and the different milk bones that offer to. Really simple but genius and getting your point across with different types of capasitors .😂 !!

I’ve been making my way through all your tutorials. Although I already know most of the content, your presentations have given me additional clarity and insight into the topics. And if I would have had access to your videos when I was first learning I would have internalized the concepts much quicker I think! Thank you and keep up the great work. Give Rusty and Jack pets for me!

[americandad]

Your videos are great. Very informative, and your experiments with rusty are a great addition to the video.

Wonderful to hear from you Uncle Doug, hope everything is alright with you and yours. Thank you for the video. Buddy

Don't know why it's taken so long for me to stumble onto this channel. These tutorials have made it so much easier to make sense of! There's plenty of smart people on youtube that know about electronics, but precious few that are really good at teaching it...

Great refresher for re capping an old Heathkit tranceiver!!

[kylekoplien]

you have a relaxing voice and a nice way of teaching haha nicely done sir

Hey Doug I know this comment is a little late relative to when you uploaded this series, but I just wanted to give you my thanks. It is very hard to find GOOD supplemental info relative to audio circuits outside my EET degree. You know what you’re talking about and you’re sharing the knowledge. Thank you so much.

Again, excellence.
Idk if you realize it, but you are shattering the brains and egos of many an arm chair internet forum guru's.
When you started teaching about "frequencies" I got so excited that I paused and went to the kitchen for some pickled herring and crackers for a treat!
Must be those milk bone non polarized coupling biscuit capacitors making me hungry?
Your doing a better job than my 1958 RCA TUBE RECIEVING MANUAL.
I know of only a handful of people who can even discuss this knowledge.
Believe it or not, but there are more people that believe that capacitors, material and capacitance have nothing to do with tonal effects than those who do or know better.
I hope I have enough herring to get through part 3? Reminds of going to the concession area at the old drive in theaters during the intermission time, lol.
This is fun!

[skycarl]

I knew it, , , I knew there was no difference in those biscuit flavors. At least Rusty doesn't have to choose between series and parallel. Good to see you back.

[GregsGarage]

I think Rusty is doing the experiment on you!!! :D Great info as always.

This is one of the BEST channels I have ever run across! Let me tell you, there is a wealth of knowledge from Uncle Doug. I am doing my best to learn how tube circuits work because once I have a good understanding on how they work I want to build some guitar amps. So that is also why I am here.

[djentlover]

I just love your dad jokes and teaching style, thank you so much. <3

As for the biscuits, I used to work (in industrial maintenance) for a pet food manufacturer. The colors are meaningless, we ran four extruders with the same product with different dyes...the colors are to make the pet owners happy...nothing else, lol. The dogs like you said can't distinguish color. It's all smell for them., although cat food is sometimes different because of the flavorings (fish digest or beef digest or whatever) those are tied to the different flavors injected into the pet food. Great video!! I am loving the series!!

[tremolux]

As usual a magnificent lesson, cant wait for part three. . Thank you for the wonderful lesson and your time... My salutations to Jack and Rusty..

[antsap]

Uncle Doug ... you rule! Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge. You are able to explain electrical theories and net them down in a way that is practical and explains how they function and perform in our beloved amps. Kudos and please keep this up.
