Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs)
Hi @erik_squires , Thank you for advice. I have Altec 604"E" with Werner Jagusch Crossover. This crossover use vintage German oil capacitors. I already replaced HPF capacitors to Duelund RS 3.9uF bypassed by Duelund Cu-Sn 0.01uF bypass capacitor. But for 8uF LPF capacitor Duelunds RS are out of of my range. I want to try something like Jantzen Alumen, Z-Cap or Jupiter VT. Today, I tried to bypass vintage German oil capacitors 8uF with Audio Note Copper 0.22uF. The sound cleaned significantly from midrange to bass. Bass became much more firm and focused. Vocals became a little bit less lush but still OK. I’m a big fun of Duelund capacitors sound. Which of mid price capacitors can you recommend? I need sound as much as possible close to Duelund Custom Cu or RS signature. Old capacitors ESR shouldn't be an issue, because I can adjust HPF cutoff frequency by potentiometer. (The crossover HPF has serial capacitor and auto-transformer. The input of auto-transformer is shounted by potentiometer) . Regards, Alex. |
@erik_squires my point is just clarify that Audin get different line of quality and you mention $20 for 4.7uf. this is not price for True copper line, max capacitance for this line is 2.2uf i is good enough for tweeter crossover. i am using in my loudspeakers 0,47uf value, and i recommend and suggest to use this particular brand. |
