Best Capacitors for Crossovers
I am now in the tweaking stage of trying different caps in my crossovers for my DIY homemade 2 way. I presently have and will soon try a 5.6uf 800 vdc +/- 2% Jantzen Audio Silver Z-cap.
I see that Mundorf, V Cap get a lot of accolades, and the Dueland are quite pricey.
Does anyone have a favorite?
I am trying to cross over at about 4500HZ at 6db.
I have tried the Solens and they are ok but they seem to compress the dynamics. Really? I found the opposite, with all of them, when used in my ESL xovers, and even in my Plasma tweeter xovers, especially I found the SILVER METALLIZED POLYPROPYLENE to be vey good, but everything has to be perfect to handle these babies, because they’re so fast and clean. Which ones did you try?, as there are quite a few models (8 I believe) that can do the job inside a speaker xover. Cheers George |
Best bang for buck Ozzy is the Solens. I was told by someone in the know that a few of the "boutique" branded caps are just re-badged Solens. http://solen.ca/product-category/capacitors/ Cheers George |
