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.

Hey cal,
Mundorf Supreme has a particular house sound. Scintillating to over-saturated color. Magico uses them extensively, as does the top end B&W.

Otherwise, if you want something more natural and open, Clarity CMR to Jupiter Copper foil is the range I normally recommend.

Try the Clarity CMR with a small (0.1) Audyn TruCopper or Jupiter copper film as a really great low cost compromise.

The best way to find caps right now at Parts Connexion is to type the value into the search window:
4.7uF
and you'll find everything they have.

Best,
E

Thanks Erik. Also, just to be doubly sure. I don't need to worry about voltage rating as long as I meet or exceed the original value (100V), right?

Right. You could probably even go lower, but hard to find a film cap any less. :)

Of course, higher voltage = higher cost, so watch out!

Have you thought about using paper in oil caps?
