BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.

Dear @grannyring  : Your last post is comendable for many things. One is that makes me think.

What is a capacitor? a very simple device and I don't have to explain you niothing about but anyway here is a wide explanation:

No rocket science at all.

Now, what want we that happen through a speaker crossover caps?:

restrict/limit the frequency that will pass through with out adding or losting nothing else. It's simple job.

The signal permited to pass trough must pass with out any alteration it has to pass straigth to make no harm and with out add " colorations " that at the end means distortions over a wide frequency range due that are not only the main notes but the developed harmonics..

So its job is simple but critical in importance.

Wima makes that in that way: straigth, no harm, no colorations/distortions.

TYhe boutique ones can't do it yet. Makes sense to you that the frequency signal is " looking for ": paper, wax or oil?
This kind of designed caps has no scientific facts that can corroboret the needs of those materials that were used 70 years ago in the radio caps.

I'm not engineer and makes no sense to me, maybe I can be wrong but after first hand experiences with several boutique caps I know something is way wrong down there. Btw, in this thread a gentleman linked information where we can see how bad measured Duelund caps and I posted that with its resistors is not better because it measures bad too. 

In the other side I decided to change the Duelund resistors I'm using in the crossovers and I alredy put the order for Powertron that is a Vishay group member. 
Talking of resistors Vishay is what Wima is with caps: a true industry standard and by coincidence both are german enterprises.

Btw, Powertron build the latest top Mundorf resistors.

I like Path Audio resistors the most. The Vcap Odams are magic FYI. 

All snake oil items are the " Ultimate ".

I know you think that. You are entitled to your opinion and I trust you are having fun.  The Duelund tinned copper caps are just marvelous as many builders know. Many builders are also love the Vcaps I mentioned. Seems many of us have been duped 🤓. 

Dear @grannyring  : I read many good things about those Path Audio resistors and maybe if the Powertron/Vishay ones does not works at the Wima levels then I will go for the Path Audio. As a fact before I found out the Vishay/Powertron ones Path Audio was at the very top of my resistor list. Thank's to confirm its high quality.

About theODAM I will call  Chris to talk on the ODAM vs the Teflon Cu. Chris is an audiophile and I knowhim very well and he can tell me the " true " about because he knows will be a confidential call.

Rigth now my priority are the bass range Wima caps.
