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.

Dear friends: After all these 3 months that time passed ( I hope all of you are in good health. ) finally arrived the Wima caps that you can buy by order only ( normally the wait time is around 16 weeks, so I was lucky and have to wait only 12 weeks. ) and the Kemet’s that are always in stock.

The Wima caps were hard wired in the mid range crossover instead a very good Kemet and before these last Wima and Kemet I had there other Wima model, Mundorf, Duelund and the last of the " boutique " ones were the Jantzen Alumen Z.

Just from the begining with these latest Wima happens something truly incredible that I believe only because I experienced and still I’m:

-listening through the Phono MC selector in my phonolinepreamp and with a 0.22mv MC cartridge the room/system noise floor not only goes lower but " disappeared " yes as you read it just: disappeared because at full volume with the 95db high speakers efficiency and my ears at 5cms. from the midrange/tweeter drivers exist no sound at all.

If I switch off the phonolinepreamp there is no kind of sound at all and I told my wife that she switch on the PLP with my ears at that close distance and you can perceive nothing but as if the PLP was switch off ! !
The gain in my PLP is 82dbs.
With digital source the listening experiences are impressive for say the least.

I have not an explanation about. Any one of you can figure out why that incredible great fact?

Other great advantage was that the normal female shhh that comes in the recordings just vanish too as the LP surface noise.

Those are some great new characteristics that were added to my room/system and welcomed but the whole quality level perporfamnce goes beyond " imagination " something unexpected that could happens at this very high resolution levels where the boutique caps has nothing to say at all.

Now, that was followed when I received the 28 Kemet caps that in a " crazy " out of the box way of think I decided to use at the woofer? crossover where the value of the cap is 100uf.
Well I connected 14 Kemet caps in parallel at each speaker and voila !, it works wonderful.

Finally after more than one year that I posted this thread finally I can say for sure that I find out the:

" BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. "

and no one of them is " boutique " one that showed his notorious inferiority by a wide margin.

Finally I’m where I’M and where I never imagine could happens.


If you don’t try with the patience and time need it you will never know what you are losting because the " real " MUSIC is truly hidden in your room/system and is crying for you can disclose it.

Take care all of you along your family.

Dear friends: In the mid-range crossover I used 4 caps in parallel and only in the band-pass/tweeter filters used single caps. The manufacturers in the choosed models are way limited in the values they handle.

Dear friends : Even that I'm truly satisfied with the very high quality levels that the speakers crossovers caps did it and that I already know for sure no other caps can outperforms it  I'm tempted to start a new " adventure "  and  try a new passive alternative ( at least new for me. ) but I'm truly ignorant about, please let me explain and obviously that if some of you think that is a better alternative then I appreciate the whole advice on it:

I know that I can use inductors instead capacitors. Do you think is a good " thing " to make at least a test? if does not works I always can return to caps.
In case that the inductor alternative can be a good option I need advice ( because as I said: I'm ignorant on the issue. ) how to do it and warnings/precautions about.

As I said your know how and skills are welcomed and appreciated.

Thank's in advance.
