I have just finished a rebuild of the crossover of a pair of Klipsch Lascala's. I have/had a fisher x101-d which sounds incredible with the speakers. It is in for service and I have sold off all of my expensive amps after the Fisher throughly spanked it. I bought some more Fishers for back-up and the livingroom. (not main listening) A 500c and x100.
The problem is neither is a quiet as the x101-d. Are the electrolytics worn out and getting noisy. The x100 my tech guy said was Ok. It does not sound Ok to me?
I know what caps can do as the Duelund in the crossover is fantastic! So I do not mind spending for quality.
So I really need a very good recomendation on a DEAD quiet electrolytic cap for the Fishers. Is that why the other Fishers do not sound as good? Noisy electrolytic caps?
All would be excellent but I found out that the output transformer blew in the x101-d. I thought another Fisher would be as good but they are not??? So I will either have to fix the one Fisher or try and get the others sounding better.
So a good electrolytic will just be quieter? (which is VERY important in itself) or are there other differences?
