find this to explain how C1 and C8 work in M2 power supply.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I guess the most important CAP in M2 power supply is C1, C8, C5 and C3
The pentode in the 6BM8 is a series pass regulator. The triode is a high speed (wide band) error amplifier. C1 appears to bypass C3 (a power supply reservoir cap), but the regulator pentode is between them (C3 and C1). The pentode functions as a dynamic dropping resistor in a pi CRC filter.
The B+ (stock) is taken off the top of the resistor string on the pentode's cathode. The error signal and the grid bias for the regulators error amplifier (the triode) come from the voltage dividers in this resistor string.
C1 acts to correct the fastest and earliest portion of the ‘error’ (really just the voltage drop across the power supplies impedance) caused by the analog stages drawing power. This cap needs to present a low impedance across the audio range, but only supplies energy during the short time between when the error voltage occurs and when the regulator responds. It covers (corrects) the leading edge of the error and decreases the error. If C1 does its job well, the regulator sees an error that it is fast enough to correct. A higher value cap in this position makes the regulator work harder, as it must correct the error and fill the droop in the cap.
C8 is a coupling capacitor that passes the remaining error (stripped of the fast leading edge by C1) to the grid of the error amplifier (the 6BM8 triode). The signal that has passed through C8 is amplified by the triode and direct coupled to the grid of the series pass element (pentode), where it changes the series resistance (of the pentode) to compensate for the error. Any alteration of the error signal by C8 is amplified by the error correction amplifier (6BM8 triode). This causes the Pentode to produce a change in resistance that over or under corrects the actual error, resulting in coloration or worse.
The functions of C1 (initial error correction/reduction) and C8 (coupling the remaining error to the error amplifier) place them in a position to strongly influence the sound quality of the analog stages, as you have observed.

。 反觀年前購入的 GG 前級kit， 真係不可同日而語。小弟對此DAC甚有幾望， 完工後定必優勝於現在的 Cambridge Audio cd player 的 解碼也
樓主
。多次check接線及零件都ok。頭都大埋。 最後發覺其中兩隻電阻有問題， 一隻應是 15K ohm得 1.5K; 另一隻應是150K， 只得15K， 顯然比錯兼小弟又搞錯照焊。 電郵負責人， 他說會再寄予小弟。 當中有隻Mundorf Supreme 同 Evo Oil 電容， 算係重料。
。 焊個兩大隻重手Audio Note copper foil， 甚有滿足感
。
。 更正之後再度： 261 vdc , perfect
