BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.

I said almost finish because now comes a really  dificult and end part where I need to be really carefully, high patience and move almost like a juggler.

All those because each speaker crossver needs to stay items/devices point to point soldered in between and things are that all the caps I'm using ( diferent manufacturers. ) are radial ones with small space in between pin connectors but things are that the resistors are radial too and this makes things more complicated because that pin connectors sopace in between is even smaller than in the caps.

Additional to all those I'm using caps in parallel because ( example. ) I could not find out 16.8uf caps so I was obligated to parallel caps that been radial along the resistors makes these point to point job a nigthmare.

But things does not ends there because the all silver ribbon inductors ( 4 .)  are really big ( like 5cms. wide. ) and needs be located at " big distance " in between and with diferent position angles.

Rigth now I'm making a route diagram of what to doo and the challenges I will find out in that point to point  final excercise.

I don't want to use nothing but the crossover items with out any single wire other than the input/output cables that comes from the amps and goes to each speaker driver.

I want to preserve the hardwired tri-wire connection.

We will see.

Dear @grannyring : First than all thank you for your patience: Now:


" I have listened and tested caps for decades. " ,

me too.


"" It is only an opinion based on your ears, likes and music. ""

I totally agree that’s only one opinion where what I like or the kind of music were not take in count. What I like it is non-important or critic in the overall discovery and evaluation of caps.


""" Saying other caps are “junk”, “snake oil” and all the other demeaning comments you make is completely false. """


well please post the facts that can prove your statement because through the thread not only me but other gentlemans posted some facts on why those caps are snake oil. That those facts could be non important to other gentlemans but me this is a different matters.
In the other side all audiophiles, including you and me, always are waiting to find out the next snake oil item. Snake oil audio items is the food of audiophiles and this is a true and objective fact.



"""" “Only I Know Best” attitude. """"

in reality that’s not by attitude at all, maybe you took in that way but you can be sure that was not my intention, far away from there.



""""" Countless other designers, modifiers, builders and DIYers with astute hearing Combined with exhaustive testing have all come to a very different conclusion than you. """""

I’m in agreement with BUT their conclusions are way different from mines because my PREMISES ( posted here. ) for all the overall discovery and evaluation of caps is too way different than their premises including yours. Those premises is the key for my true and objective conclusions.



"""""" bashing companies that are passionate and quite experienced with making top grade parts. """"""


in agreement too but those top grade parts are useless for the MUSIC reproduction in any home system, unfortunated.



""""""" Not sure what your motivation is .."""""""


very simple: share my first hand experiences in that discovery and evaluation of those humble caps against the snake oil ones.



"""""""" You like it, but many don’t compared to the better built caps with better sounding materials and design. Wima is not junk . """"""""


better built caps?, please show facts or scientific papers that can prove that wax, oil or paper are better sounding materials and that those caps have better design against the Wima, Epcos, Kemet or Vishay manufacturers that already proved with facts that they are the only proffesionals with the kind of true engineering to make caps that really work doing its simple job.


In other of your latest posts you refered to Wima as a cheap cap but do you know why are so inexpensive caps?:

just think on this many of the hundreds models of those humble cheap caps you can buy it only if you buy 100, 400 or 1K pieces by model, you can’t buy 2-3 pieces.

 That was a problem for what I need it to buy.So, Wima/Vishay/Epcos/Kemet sales/sold hundred of thousands of caps that they manufacture and this fact makes that you and me can buy their caps at those ridiculous prices. Tha’s why. Do you know that the wholesalers in some models have a lead time of over 14 weeks and you need to buy hundreds if you want it.


Btw, @paulcreed , I had exactly the same experiences you posted ( but for different reason. ) about Wima caps and I had it with Vishay caps where I just can’t find out the models I want/need it to test so I bougth other models and tested and no single Vishay cap made it/done and I gave the need it time but things are that those Vishay caps were for very specific applicatoons and due that I can’t find out the ones I need it I bougth it but did not work .
Can I say that Vishay is a junk? certainly not.


Rigth now I’m in the point to point crossover parts set up where I’m using a blend of those four manufacturers caps/resistors and not because all work as a tone controls, far away from there and I already explained about.

Sure.  Can’t read this thread anymore.  I’m out like on Shark Tank. Enjoy your ride! 

@grannyring  : always it's so easy to make a critic or to say some one is wrong when we only have to say it with out need to prove it.

I'm totally transparent, clear trying to be precise ( problems with my english. ) given wide explanations in all my posts in the thread.

Every one knows the whole contecxt/scenario where all things happens and happened because my Agon virtual room/system is wide self explantory about.

Things are that I came with out Wima agenda and not only that but I was a user of several of those snake oil expensive caps, even one gentleman that posted here told that I gave to him my advise with the Alumen Z that I were using and that he bougth by my advise about.

So I'm with nothing to hide and as I said: transparent person.

However and with higher patience that the one you have I read and answer your posts where you said nothing and I mean nothing about the context/scenarios where you proved by your self to your self the supremacy of the boutique caps against the Wima or the like.

Which was or is that/your room/system whole context? and please don't tell me and be a gentleman as I think you are posting that context along your premises used with out saying: "  I’m out like on Shark Tank ".
I think that all of us deserve your kidness about.

R.

Bill, I know that like me you have the maturity to have a honest dialogue as this one.

Of course that you can decide to " runaway ", nothing impedes you to stay " dead silence " from now but only the lost of your credibility ( not by other people opr by me that is non-important. ) in your self by your self.
