mustang guy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I ordered Crites AA rebuild kit today. I will do one of the speakers and leave the other alone and sit between them (in mono mode) and see how big of a difference there is. My La Scalas are 1976's with original AA crossovers.

Guest " " Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It looks like the lowest rating he used was a 6 and the highest rating a 12. He gave the Sonicaps an 8.5. I wonder what his "verdict" criteria is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 For the simple Heritage networks (A/AA/B/E) the V-Cap OIMP is the best I've used, and I've tried a lot of them: Stock, Motorola replacements (just like old stock but 'fresh", Sonicap whites (good value here and more revealing), Auricaps, Hovlands.....but the V-Caps stand alone. For horns they're just perfect. Expensive, though - but for those who decide that they prefer the simple network formulas (A/AA...) and want the most transparent and revealing network out of that type of build, they are the bees knees......[8-|] And while being that revealing, they are juuuuuuuust "wet" enough to just let the music shine through.

Guest " " Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 DItto on the V-Cap OIMP...I have some that I bought from Dean's left over stock. But you could always add a polycarbonate by-pass capacitor to silken up the sound if you think your commercial grade film caps are too harsh.

djk Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I think you mean Polystyrene, not Polycarbonate. I find Polycarbonates to sound 'glassy'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
