    Default My crossover build

    In the process of building a crossover with 5 different caps on the tweeter which can be changed by a turn on a rotary switch, one nearly done. Finished the boxes yesterday. Will keep you posted.

    Caps used
    Mundorf Silver/Gold
    Duelund VSF which I am going to use a V-Cap TFTF as bypass
    Jupiter Bees Wax
    Clarity Cap bypassed with a Audio Note Copper cap
    IPL's home grown

    Swans Ribbon LINK Just pumping up the crossover of an IPL Acoustics kit. Already made an external crossover with just the Mundorf Silver/Gold which worked very well. Done this really to try out the Duelund VSF, but thought I would through a few more caps in while I was at it.

    Excellent! I'll be keeping an eye on this, I'm actually wanting to upgrade the caps in my speakers cross overs too so look forward to your finding

    Nearly their should get them hooked up latter on today to the speakers. Only draw back is I sent my power amp off last week for upgrading, so may not see it for another 4 weeks .

    Very nice work indeed, what's the HF limit on the tweeters? From what I've heard over the last couple of years very extended high frequencies really make a huge difference to the life of a recording. It's why I ditched the electrostats, compared to decent dynamics and ribbons it was like listening through a duvet.
