BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.

Dear friends:I really need your helpwith first hand experiences with speaker crossover capacitors founded in next main experiences/tested premises: for a 3-way speaker design, high resolution audio systems, very low distortion audio systems, wide systems frequency range, " zero trade-offs ".

I know that the best capacitor is NO-capacitor, well I need your near to that full experiences with another desired premises from you: audio systems using SS electronics and mainly listening MUSIC through digital sources.

All your opinions/help are appreciated.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

rauliruegas,

Very nice system. In my personal experience, the higher the frequencies, the more the cap will affect the sound. At low frequencies, hm.... it would be hard for me to tell.

Based on your posts, it seems like you have tried out quite a few expensive caps that most here may have problem affording, including me.

rauliruegas,

I was just wondering the cost of your turn tables?  My guess is one may cost more than my entire system.  I once compared a turn table side by side with a CD source and the most difference that jumped out is how the turn table sounds a lot more like "live" music vs. the CD which sounded somewhat processed and artificial.  IMHO.

Damn ... those are some real serious speakers ... I am afraid to ask how much ... like asking how much a Ferrari costs.  If you have to ask like they say ...

In the other side my conclusion along this thread ( what happened and what does not happened. ) is that does not exist a " best harmless/signatureless capacitor " for speaker crossovers.
I agree. Every cap will have its sound signature - some are better at hiding its short comings than others.  Of course that does not mean some are not superior than others.  

Like they say, every artist steals. Only the bad ones got caught :-)
