Pstores Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Just curious if you guys think a 2.2 can be used instead of a 2 for the Tweeter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT88 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Have a look here. I would say it is ok to use a 2.2 uF cap when considering that the original caps had a 10% tolerance. At least for the time being before you get a 2 uF value cap and may be I would not buy a $100 cap which reads 2.2uF. Imam very happy using 2.2 uF caps in my Lascala type AA xover. The linked graph shows a very marginal difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pstores Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Thanks for the reply. I ordered some Vcap ODAM’s. I’ve used these in some Zu and others. They are really kickass. Just replaced the caps today with the JEM kit. Pretty big difference over the Oil Cans. Pretty sure the ODAMs will be a night and day difference though.

Deang Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 It’s not difficult to improve on the sound of the old cans, since most are pretty much shot, robbing considerable energy from the tweeters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
