They could even be higher than the old capacitors. You need to order some Dayton Film Capacitors from Parts Express! I have re-capped three or four Klipsch networks (Belle's, Cornwall's, Klipschorns) with Solen's from Bob (I believe) and have always been somewhat disappointed a the results (or lack of). To my ears I didn't notice any improvement in any of them. So this time I just thought I would try the cheap route. I will likely just un-do what I did. Then again, I have been reading about the F20 sub and if I were to decide to order the woofer I could also toss in some new Daytons or the like. I still need to divest of a certain stock of Klipschorns before I build anything though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Those electrolytics will probably sound gritty and will change over a couple of years. Try such as these. https://solen.ca/products/capacitors/film-foil-polypropylene-capacitors/se200/ https://www.parts-express.com/audiocap-ppt-theta-20uf-200v-film-foil-capacitor--027-724 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
