I was talking with a guy in Cali today Fritz from from Fritz speaker, and it came up, to just put a variable resistor in there and tweek it until it sounds right. I don't know I've got half a mind to just ditch the Tara's and find a cable that wor...

I was considering getting both, but I'm not sure if I should measure each cap or the circuit on the board when it comes to est

Eric, I thought you said that a in series resistor that compensate for the low esr of the film caps would correct the problem. Did I misunderstand?

I don't think leaving the old electrolytic caps in place is the solution. First, the jantzens ( when Tara cables not used), sounds far superior than the old caps being used with the Tara cables. So if I was going to throw my hands up , I would kee...

The negative stripes face each other on the 2200uF's, I'm thinking that's in line with what your saying

So the caps the caps I replaced in c1,c3,c4, were bi polar electrolytics, they say bipolar on the cap. Not sure if that matters or if I mentioned it.

Thanks hififan for that link. Hey Tim, so I double checked the stripe on the polarized caps against a photo I had. And it matched up correctly. I replaced it with a 35v cuz that's what was in it before. I'm fairly certain it's the tweeter that's f...

What's clear is the problem resolves when the caps in c1, c3, c4 are swapped with the old electrolytics.

Well I figured I wouldn't have gotten all right, but I took a stab at it. I don't think the tweeter is bad, cuz it sounds fine with the old caps or If the Tara cables aren't used. I know it's not a mid-range issue cuz I can clearly hear the tweete...

Imhififan, I only replaced three of the 3.3, and left one existing one in place. I tried the other tara cable and the issue was unchanged. I didnt think it was the cables, because although they were old they were in mint shape and I bought them fr...

Tim I appreciate your input, not quite sure which way to go aside from keeping music on the speaker.

I think just for kicks I'll try the other Tara cable, I would think it would be less likely to have both cables have an issue.
