Clarity Cap - the difference is proven...

[goraman]

Hi
Dont know where the sonics blue caps come in the equation but, fitted some into the midrange crossovers on my goodmans horns ,they were utter crap,sounded grainy and distorted ,far worse than the out of spec 40 year olds they replaced .Fitted some cheap same value bennics ,far better.Cant come up with a suitable reason for this,but I persevered with these sonics in other cicuits tried them as coupling caps in a preamp with the same results, utter crap.In my opinion of course.

Run them in for some time and se if they smooth out,if they don't try something else.

Hi Jeff
Dont think I have that much time left to waste on caps ,so they have been despatched to the storeroom in the sky.[dust bin] [trash can]
Cheers Dave.

Well, some never do sound much better with power and time so if they where that awful from the go mabey you are better off.

Are you going to try something differant?
I don't know your price range but if you have break in time I would try the clarity cap ESR in the silver wrapper.There priced well, but will take some break in time like all other caps to be at there best.

After a couple of months of constaint play time they really open up and relese the music in a wonderful way!

Tulsa is in Oklahoma,Thats in the soulth I am out West,3 days in a fast cruzer with unlimited coffiee and a case of Rock Star energy drinks.
And a gallon jug to pee in.
I once went coast to coast in 5 days average speed was just over 80 mph.
Only a few stops for naps after the coffiee and dounutz buzz brings you to a crash like stewpper.

Unbelievable !

I was very young then,just out of high school and there was little traffic on I70 in 1985 as I80 was the better freeway.No radar guns or planes and not so menny police then.And I had all my hair and not much sence.

If you go to page 2 post #12 you will see them in my crossovers.
Next to the stock AL CAPs, The Clairity Cap SA's take a very very very long time to open up and break in,400 hours over 6 months and things where far more open and atherial and the bass was much tighter and faster.
