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.
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.

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. R. |
Dear @grannyring : Sorry I was totally wrong, in series comes higher resistence. I would like to insist on the parallel caps issue conection not in my speaker crossover where I will follow your advise and see if exist any improvement. I will do this in the tweters and band-pass crossover because I already have the Wima caps need it for that. Now, I already ordered to Mouser two Wima 0.033uf to use at the input of my Levinson monobloks in the high pass filter ( biamping system. ) instead the today V-cap teflon Cu. I don't like to make more harm to the Levinson circuit board and I say this because I already made several changes in that specific input cap. So my question is that if you or other gentleman think that using there two caps in parallel ( I have 0.022 and 0.01uf that I take out somewhere in the electronics. ) will perform better than the single 0.033uf? I will follow the advise of you and if I don't have a tiny improvement then I will come back to the teflon Cu and I will don't touch the board again. Thank's in advance. R. |
@rauliruegas I’ll refer you to Ralph’s (@atmasphere) last post (first on page 3) in our other capacitor thread for some relevant discussion regarding parallel caps of different values... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/preamp-output-capacitor-mundorf-supreme-vs-supreme-silver-oil... |
