BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.

Dear friends:I really need your helpwith first hand experiences with speaker crossover capacitors founded in next main experiences/tested premises: for a 3-way speaker design, high resolution audio systems, very low distortion audio systems, wide systems frequency range, " zero trade-offs ".

I know that the best capacitor is NO-capacitor, well I need your near to that full experiences with another desired premises from you: audio systems using SS electronics and mainly listening MUSIC through digital sources.

All your opinions/help are appreciated.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

Hey,

I have experience with Audyn True Copper as bypass caps only. As I mentioned, I found that with small CMR caps, they did not improve much, but with larger values they are really something!

Also very expensive comparatively, about 0.1uF goes for $20.
Not nearly as expensive as a Jupiter or Duelund at the same value though.

Be careful though if you are replacing electrolytic caps which go to ground. If you drop the DCR too much you can alter the sound unintentionally,and drop the minimum speaker impedance by a lot!

@rauliruegas Looks like I don't have the values you need, but I do have an extra pair of 2.0uF V-CAP TFTFs... would happily sell them to you as I ended up with Mundorf Supreme Silver/Gold/Oil's in my preamp.

Danny Richie (GR Research) is recommending and selling Sonicap and Miflex KPCU caps for his DIY speaker kits. He looks for resolution and transparency in loudspeaker components, as well as natural organic instrumental timbre and texture.

Dear @erik_squires  : Please read about my ADS speakers in my Agon virtual system:

https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/3080   and make " click " where says: Read More....

you can attest that I'm not using electrolityc caps.

Thank's for your experience with the Audyn caps but I need experiences in speaker crossovers.

Btw, looking to the CMR for my ADS woofers I will need 3 caps for each speaker: 100uf and CMR high value is 35uf. I think I can live with .

Dear @cal3713  : Thanks. That teflon V-caps value is not what I need but maybe I can use it along the Amber Z or along other caps. I can't say to you rigth now.

I will send a message to stay in touch with you.
