Sorry you find it irritating. It is actually a natural part of my voice, and is quite common in Australia. Look up "High Rising Terminal" for instance. Yes, I do it even when talking about dull stuff. I can't please everyone, many people actually LIKE IT and would hate it if I changed to something more drone. I could probably control it if I tried, and did re-takes. But that's not me, and trying to change the way I talk because a few people don't like it is, well, really kinda silly I think.

I learned something on your video today: high rising terminal. I didn't know it was a "thing." I had noticed it myself because the hosts of several of the channels I watch regularly are from "down under." Of course you shouldn't change who you are. One reason you have so many views could be your voice and enthusiasm. It is a certainly a combination of personality and content. I often watch videos I'm initially not that interested in to here you go on and on about it. Top notch EE info BTW--high level and detailed and at the same time real world.

Great video Dave!! Some considerations about caps in series: the resistances will be an additional load to power. They will heat, so choose and position them wisely, so that they don't worsen the thermal weaknesses of the caps they are helping. If the current leaking from one of the caps in series is not minimal, the next cap will overload (it will go above its max rated v) even with the resistors network. Cheers from Italy you crazy Aussie bloke!!!

Thanks for the great video. I have a qestion on the temperature of electrolytic caps: I'm trying to find non-functioning caps on a pcb. None show any visual signs of damage (bulging etc.), so before I make the effort to solder them out to test them individually, I was wondering whether I could see if they are within their temperature specs by measuring the temperature while in use, using a infrared temperature measurement device (pointed at the caps, one at a time). Am I going somewhere with this, or does it make no sense and there is just no way around soldering and testing all caps invididually? PS: Keep up the good work!

HI, when you talk about using two electrolytics in parallel do you mean two separate caps or would a dual cap such as a 50/50 at 450V work the same? I hope my question is not to long winded. lol I am referring to the old four input Marshall amps. Up till about 1968 or so they used two 100uf/350V caps in series. But then they changed to two 50/50 caps in a parallel/series configuration for the first two stages. The first one for the OT center tap and the second one for the power tube screens. Thank you for the videos. They have been most helpful.
