[quote author="Svart"]in our applications we are not trying to supress any ripple, we are meerly trying to pass it along.[/quote]
[quote author="Svart"]Of course their "bypassing" is power supply bypassing to ground in order to smooth power lines, our bypassing is not trying to do the same thing at all. I think they are two different animals that we are talking about here. too many terms meaning different things as I see it.[/quote]
Actually, lots of audio circuits have bypass caps near IC's or at the power connector, etc. Not to mention cathode bypass caps in tube and transistor circuits, passive LPF's, etc. I think you may be confusing "coupling" and "bypassing".
I understand and generally agree with your comment, though. It would be nice to do some experiments AC-coupling a low-distortion oscillator to a scope using different caps and taking pictures, measuring distortion, etc.
Now there's an idea!
Peace,
