Title: “bump” problem
Post by: gobert4 on March 05, 2026, 03:58:56 PM

Hi,
I assembled my first TS500 and I noticed a bump when I switch to 30ips from 15ips, and from 7.5 to 15ips.
From 15ips to the other velocity the bump is low.
Is normal?

Second question:
I received the second unit yesterday and I have x2 47pF ceramic instead of x3.
I have one 100pF to insert in c65.
Can it be ok?

Do you also get these pops when there is no input signal?
You can compare to the other unit when it is finished.

I have one 100pF to insert in c65.
Sorry for the mistake. Yes, a 100pF will be OK.
