thanks to everyone for their thoughts and experience......in the crossovers I have rebuilt I have replaced the autoformers with ones from BEC......I always like new....caps, wire, inductors.....the works.....now I have a collection of old stuff....by the way, off topic but I changed the tweeters in my Belles to JBL 2404s and they are awesome (with ALK crossovers).....thanks again -Al

we seem to replace older capacitors because they lose there value over time....but do old autoformers need to be replaced ?....I'm talking about 20+ yr old stuff.....the second question is if they don't, is there still a benefit to using new ones in a crossover rebuild ?...if so what ?...thanks -Al

excellent info Chris....just what I was looking for....thanks -Al

can anyone lend any advice on using and soldering foil inductors like alpha core or jantzen ? thanks -Al

I can't imagine this will last long..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7335756574&category=47094&rd=1

it fits....

I replaced my crossovers...the difference is quite noticable -Al

don't know how they sound but they look sweet.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=73372&item=5782382203&rd=1 Al

connecting you pc to your stereo to play mp3's should not have a negative impact on the quality of the playback....I use this : http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/HFL-A1-X1.html and a 192 Kbit/s bitrate....hope this helps -Al

Paul Speltz is not alone in the approach to a solid core, thin insulation coating to wire .... some of the reasons are identical.... http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?store_code=RAM&screen=PROD&product_code=ACT_1F_WIRE

thanks Dean

can anyone post these ?....thanks -Al

I confess....I bought them....don't know if I can save the $250 with a local pickup as I live in austin and they are in san antonio....hope I can restore to some of the beautiful ones I have seen on the forum....perhaps a crossover rebuild too....this is a great place for info -Al

I didn't know Paul was making IC's....thanks for the info....I have some of Paul speaker anti-cables and previously posted that....I have used lots of different types of cables costing much more and also cheap zip cord....the anti-cables are the best I have used....-Al

hey Randy...I have Heresy IIs with the same x-over....I used solen for the 68uf and auricaps for the 1.5uf....the auricaps were installed in my amp and I liked that so I used them....I'm sure Hovlands would be good too.... http://www.partsconnexion.com/catalog/CapacitorsFilm.html you can look at quite a few caps here and inductors if you want to replace them too....why not ?....actually I even got new autoformers from Bob (BEC) too.... -Al

I have used this..... http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/pc-audio.html#a1 works perfect....simple, plug and play AL

I guess some people can just "hear" the benefits of coax speaker cable while others not so much.... http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/interconnects/CrossCoax_vs_ZipCord-p1.htm

these are the best cables I have used....this includes mit, monster and most recently some silver wire....sometimes simple is better....and the price is right.... http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?cablspkr&1111494723 -Al

Heresy II capacitors values are 68uF and (3) 1.5uF....there seems to be a flucuation of values such as auricaps are 10%....relcap the same....hovlands 5%....is the any negative affect cascade bypassing to say 66uF and 1.6uf instead of the original values ?....thanks -Al
