Re: Shaftesbury 519 amplifier
An electrolytic capacitor will inevitably pass some leakage current. That current passes through the series resistor causing a volt drop across it. With a 200k resistor a current of 1mA will drop 200 volts.
If you reduce the value of the series resistor to say 100k the voltage across the capacitor will be higher. I generally reform via 10k.
