Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs)

Hey @Cal3713
Glad to hear you are so happy. :)

Listen, can you tell me what your experience is comparing the Clarity with the Jupiters?

Best,

@cal3713,  I am happy you have found the Jupiters to your liking, and I agree completely with your comment regarding the manufacturer's choice of Solens for the PREs.   I know even the PREs are made to a price point, but I know in my case with the Super Victory IIs, those Jupiters were transformative. That cap really moved the speaker to an entirely different level of performance.   I expected you would find that also to be true with your Accutrons, but one never knows for sure.  It is always an experimental question in the end.  Keep us posted as you continue the burn in process. 

@erik_squires I remember reading on humblehifi that the clarity cap was neutral and "ruler flat". I thought that was pretty descriptive. It was clean, but I lost some warmth and color compared to the original solens. The Jupiters brought that back in spades while also adding better imaging. 

@brownsfan And yes, the PREs are made to that tough to hit $30k (recent price increase) mark. Crazy that they can't spend an extra $500 in parts to make the speakers sound their best. Even crazier that there's a $20 cap in there. Just mind bottling.

Nice! Now I'm back to wondering about replacing my RTX bypasses with Jupiter - lol.

@cal3713
Thanks!

Color is what I thought the Audyn TC bypass caps added. :) I haven't noticed better imaging, but now I have a new amp so maybe I should do that experiment again?

I need about a total of 13 or 14uF in tweeter caps per speaker, so around $1,400 total. Not something I can afford for a while.

Best,
