Have you thought about using paper in oil caps?
Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs)
Hi all, looking to upgrade the Solen 4.7uF 100V caps that filter the low frequencies out of the Accuton tweeters on my Coincident PREs. Started by looking at Duelund's, but PartsConnection doesn't even list prices for a lot of the models (or is out of stock) at that value... that motivated me to try and collect some impressions from the group.
Apparently Isreal is using Mundorfs in that position at this point.
As always, thanks for the input.

I am partial to the Jupiter Copper Foil. To me the Audyn True Copper can be just a little tilted in the upper mids. The Jupiter Copper Foil paper and wax is my Favorite,although not cheap http://www.soniccraft.com/index.php/jupiter-copper-c-301_38_416 |
Geta2ay from plastics like a Mundorf s ownedtheir Best Silver Gold oil supremes several times . TheJupiter Copper foil muc more natural and meaty once you give them 300 hours, and a Duelund. Silver foil ,oil.01 Bypass cap really opens the top up . Solen is junk, depending on budget . go to humblehomemadehifi capacitor test. A solid A recommendation I usethem myself in my speakers .whileyou are at it rebuild the whole Xover austral bloom uses Nothing remotelyhigh quality .i owned several amps speakersall economy parts .I modded them myself , a Huge difference , and for suerewire them , I just used VH Audio New AWG 21 for the tweeter, awg15 forthe other drivers a Litz ssmall diameter OCC - 0 crystalCopper verythinned foamed Teflon dielectric fantastic wire . He sells a awg 12 and awg 11 forLoudspeaker cables, and use Copper get rid of the junk brass ,on the terminals not natural stall I changed every connection throughout to copper at lesst a 10% improvement . I used the exsctwiring for my amp-preamp, Loudspeakers also. The whole system .time consuming and maybe $1500 in wire but the results are substantial. |
