lucky5115 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hi All, I'm changing mid & tweet caps on my cornscala crossovers.(2nd order). Currently looking at Mundorf MKP Supremes or ClarityCap CSA. Has anyone used either of these for comparison? Or do you recommend something else? Help would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance~ Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I have used the ClarityCap CSA in my AA rebuilds in both my Khorns and La Scalas. DeanG recommended them, and I was very happy with the quality of the caps at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time we had that transaction, I am virtually certain that I put in Dayton Premium Audio 1% caps. I wasn't using anything else at that time. I still do use them, and will continue to because they are good at a good price. I've experimented with a few other brands/types since then. I can look back in my messages to verify.

That's o.k., no need to go through all that. When I got them home I was really surprised how well they blended with a pair of KLF-20's with Bob's networks.

mark1101 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 +1 on the 1% Dayton's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Right, because they're so amazing. Because every $2 metalized capacitor sounds just as good as a film and foil. You're half deaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Mark inferred it. It's ridiculous. This place kills me. Thousands of dollars on gear, but peanuts on the parts between the amp and the drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean, have you ever done a truly blind test between what you call cheap, cheap, cheap junk (apparently Dayton), a modest priced cap, and one of your big buck caps? I doubt it. I dare you.

I ran into them by accident after a few years of not fooling with passives much. Basically, the quality of the low end components seems to have leaped forward. No they are not boutique but what do want for $2.00? Sometimes this is what fits the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 How could you run into them "by accident" when I've been recommending them for years? You should try battery biased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
