Charles the caps are marked with a line on one side of the label. This is the outer foil side. Just be sure and tell your tech guy.

Forgot to mention the burn in process on the new Jupiter copper foil crossover caps. My observations were based on about 6-7 hours of burn in. Yes, only 7 hours for this reaction and I expect further refinement over the next 100-200 hours. The fir...

Charles you made the right choice. However much sonic improvement can be squeezed from that part position in your circuit will indeed be realized.

I have to report on the new Jupiter copper foil caps for speaker crossovers. These are the 100v larger value caps. I purchased two 3.3uf and two 1 uf caps to parallel on my Raal tweeters. They cost me some $594 for all of them. Not cheap, but wait...

I am not in NYC, but am an owner and they are magic! See my virtual system. Just fantastic speakers.

Yes, my wonderful wife. Remember the events are greatly exaggerated :)

Pete, if you have used Jupiter copper foil caps I will buy them from you. I find the Vcaps to cold, sterile and electronic sounding for my tastes. No meat on the bones!

The older, less expensive Jupiter caps had that problem Pete. Not the new ones. I think you heard the old ones, not the brand new copper foil ones. The new ones spank the Vcaps all day long.Jupiter makes HT flat stacked and HT round which replaced...

Audiowoman, great to hear from you!My wife got a kick out of your use of the word "nay" and said that was enough for her to think about it.

Charles for electronics go with Jupiter. Just better in tube amps and preamps based on my experience as well as at least 5 others who replaced CAST with Jupiter copper caps. I have not used them in a phono stage, but have had SOTA results in my tu...

Yes, Agear was appropriate and being his humorous self. The subject of the "wife" is squarely on topic and peppered throughout a multitude of Agon threads. Read " The Audiophile's Wife" blog and have a good laugh!

They fell off? Do you mean they broke off from handling? I have had that happen with caps when I was bending the wire leads too much. The thinner gauge silver leads seem more prone to that. I assume you can get refunded? Perhaps you should call Ch...

They are simply ok by Aphile standards and will do the job fine if you are not looking for resolving refinement.I owned and currently own several of their cables for testing gear, back-up etc.... The cables I have tried can sound a tad bright, ele...

Ya nice idea for sure. Needed in crossovers unless you only have one driver .... And I have not head a one driver speaker I like as much as my two way. Needed in tube amps for coupling unless you use transformers to couple. But transformers have t...
