Best Capacitors for Crossovers
Yes indeed that is the correct part number.  
Inexpensive way to test Litz wire
I used to think price paid had a direct correlation with sound quality. That is not the case. That is certainly not the case for wire/cable. Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. Crap shoot and you have to let your own ears confirm or deny. Be...

For wire I highly recommend a brand new affordable wire made by Duelund that copies and betters the wonderful NOS Western Electric copper stranded wire. Parts Connextion sells it for $10 a meter and it is very special. I have wired my complete sys...

Nice! Well that tweeter matched with that particular cap will give a very detailed sound that will certainly start off hot sounding. The Jantzen silver cap is known to be very detailed and tipped up in the highs. Even after burn in that personalit...

Please let me know the components you are using. What caps and resistors etc.  This will help me better tell you what to expect and break in based on my experience with these various parts and brands.

Unlikely you ruined the cap by heat to be honest. It is possible, but my goodness you would have to turn it up to 800 degrees or more and hold it there for a long time. By long I mean over a minute or two. Also, the best sounding resistor I have u...

I highly recommended Jupiter copper foil caps. I prefer them to Duelund and have tried both. Far superior to Mundorf in every way, but most especially in the mids and micro details. The Jupiter cap is very linear with no part of the sound spectrum... 
Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32?
Maple, it is great advise to sell. We all have subjective likes and dislikes. The speaker sounds this way to the poster and to another it would be heaven. Subjective. He should consider selling as they don't fit his particular taste.

Mac 492 is a great choice.  Better yet, sell the speakers based on your post.

Do yourself a big favor and call Neal at Sound Science.  Nobody makes it easier for you and the sound quality is state of the art.  I did a deep dive into this as I dislike computers and they stress me.  I love what Neal built for me and it is str...

Call Neal at Sound Science as he makes VERY easy to use units that offer the best sound available on a computer. Just call him and have a nice conversation. I own one of his computers/servers and could not be happier. Sold all my CDs and now am 10...

I am very happy Honda will still service my pre-owned Pilot.

By the way I have purchased several brand new units from manufacturers based on the service and joy I received on a pre owned, used unit that turned me onto them in the first place!  We are quick leaving the notion of great service, service beyond...

Soundsrealaudio, yes they should offer service. Goodness, it's just more income for the shop! No warranty work is being asked for here.They don't want to support older units that have been sold, resold etc... They will hurt their brand image in th...
