Default Re: That Capacitor?

Hi.
I agree with Alistair, I have never referred to the G1 coupling cap as "That" Cap.
Often it is thought that "That" cap is just the capacitor that goes to the audio output valve, this of course is not the case, and any coupling capacitor that goes from anode or even cathode in a P-P amp or a cathode follower stage to a following stage (G1) could be termed a "That" Cap.
Capacitors that couple oscillators to frame output and line output stages also come under this category.
My personal opinion is that we should use the time honoured way of describing this component as a "coupling capacitor"!
