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,

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.

Chris is a great guy.  I have put those Odams into many pieces of gear for customers and they all really enjoy the results.

Dear @grannyring  : Yesterday I decided to test the ODAM at the extremely critical amplifiers input position but unfortunatelly the ODAM does not comes yet with so low values as the 0.033uf that is need it.

Reading through the V-caps site and reading the customers comments nothing says is way different than a " boutique " level caps but I can't attest it till V-cap could liberate lower values as the one I need it.

As other V-cap customer opinions you use one of same words: " magic ".

It's an audiophile word that I normally don't like to use because in audio as in other overallindustry " magic " just does not exist.
What exist is solid mature engeering or not so solid/good engeneering.

Yes,I know " magic " is only an expresion but....

Btw, today I willfinish to " assemble " the 6 caps need it foreach speaker bass range. This assemble is way time consuming due that the Wima caps are designed to use in circuit boards not hard wired as I do and its output pins are to short for an easy task about. 
I hope it will be worth this time consuming effort.
