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,

Dear friends : I can't find out yet the source for the Wima 100uf that goes in the speaker crossover.

In the mean time I'm thinking to make a really critical test that it's to change the V-cap Teflon Cu for a MKP 10 in the high pass filter in my bi-amp speaker/subwoofer.

I don't use the subwoofer high pass electronics instead I made the high pass filter taking advantage that my Levinson amps are coupled by cap at the input.

To do that I need first than all open the amps and take a look/measure the distance between the circuit boards holes because the original cap was 2.2uf and for the high pass is way lower value and due that the Wima are radial caps I think maybe I can't do it directly because the lower value cap has a shorter distance in between pins and I don't want to add cable to solder at the board.

I will do all my effoprt I can because if the Wima can, at least, even the V-cap Teflon Cu well that could be admirable for say the least. 
We will see.

Hi Raul... finally ordered a pair of the MKP10s to try against my 4.7uF Duelund Tinned-Copper CAST high-pass tweeter caps.  I'll let you know what the comparison sounds like.  Also planning on trying the ODAMs in my pre-amp, but am not quite ready to spring the $150 for a trial... easy to pull the trigger on the $20 for the WIMA capss and shipping.

Dear @cal3713  : Good, we will see what happens with your experiences about.

Other that the ODAM has a limited cap values and due that I own the OIMP  where the MKP 10 are way superior performers I could think that maybe the ODAM is not the response against Wima but I never know that till I testesd.

You can just parallel the ODAMs for use.  Lower inductance that way and that can be a good thing.  I used two 4uf caps instead of an 8 uf for example. 
Dear @grannyring : You are rigth but for the mid-range filter I need 16.8uf.

Now, are you saying that two 2.2uf in parallel performs with better quality levels that a single 4.7uf?

A second question ( not for the ODAM.): is there any advantage to use two caps in series against a single capor parallel caps? because before I received the 4.7uf caps I was listening to two 10uf Wima caps and performs very well too. I read somewhere that two in series caps reduce impedance but I don't know for sureor if exist a trade-off about.

Thank’s in advance, appreciated.
