Thiel cs2.4 upgrade to cs 2.4 se

Dear all, 

I noticed the overall sound is changing. The initial perception of " imbalance" has become more balance. Also, it put more hot glue to secure the caps to board. It helps to reduce the vibration and makes the system sounded quieter. 

I will let it run in further before making further assessment.

The final components choice for the CS-2.4 crossover upgrade, it will be made on new larger Jantzen Universal PCB's and soldered with Jantzen Solder, 4% silver

@holco curious why you’re putting a foil coil on the woofer board and not replacing the one in the coax feed (0.15 uF). 

One caution for the DIY crowd from Tom Thiel is to pay attention to the DC resistance on the boards as new parts can change these values and upset the balance. In my case, the new parts matched original values within 0.1 ohm. As Tom’s beta tester, I have full value capacitance in single caps. Only my bypass caps (~1% Multicap RTX) are in parallel, but those did not add measurable resistance.

Good question beetlemania, will look into it.
