Sorry I didnt notice your post. The white cap is polypropylene cap from Taiwan. The sound is towards clear and transparent. The weird part is when I use it, the bass is very restricted. I guess need time to run in. that;s the trouble with new poly cap.

tough poly sounds good in xover....!!! have you try to bypass it with some caps? i heard it works for most...

OK OK. I will take up the challenge for the SERIES crossover. I would like to experiment. photo by tonight. Actually I was drown in the digital domain with PLL, DEM, global feedback, TIM, FFT and BODE plot. I hope to be drown by Linkwitz, butterworth, etc.


Added on February 9, 2009, 10:22 pmAs promised, here is the Series crossover. the north 2 pin is input right, which is positive ?

the bottom mid 2 pin is common right ? which is treble and which is woofer.

Solen MKP....hmmmm how does it sounds????? I found that Solen sounds so 'regular'....but better than cap xxx caps....you need to add up some spices to it to see its potential.....IMHO

BTW how much you got the 6.8uF per pcs. ???

I am going to australia next month and probably get some more Jantzen cross caps. Chua interested in some more? or you have enough already.

I have solen mkps new and some slightly used
6.8uf
4.7uf
3.3uf
even though i feel the solens are very underated and are very neutral, I would go for jantzen, crosscaps I am starting to like them more and more now.

here is a link to a very good value DIY shop in Singapore.

Thank you...Indeed I heard that Solen is the entry level for a x-over caps...better sounding starts with jantzen, mundorf, auricap bla bla bla that rated as audiophile caps...if you willing to bare the cost go ahead..... blink.gif

minimum order for 4 caps. any 2 of each value

the solen caps below : -

1. 2x6.8uF = RM 30
2. 2x4.7uF = RM 26
3. 2x3.3uF = RM 24

prices are inclusive of shipping.

chefsinc67, this is the price for new or used and will you consider taking 2 caps only?
