Do I need to use multicaps in the power supply?
I don’t bother with mull-caps anymore unless there’s absolutely no room for singles. -Amp Medic I agree on this. Back when I used to do esoteric hi-fi, we were constantly tweaking Dynaco products including the Pas-3 preamps. We found that multi-section caps seemed to have some from of coupling between the sections resulting in low level hum and noise. I was able to audibly reduce this by using discrete caps rather than muti-sections. I also found that by placing these caps physically closer to their actual circuits (like right on the individual boards) it reduced noise and seemed to smooth out and improve bass response (especially in the phono preamp stage).
