In this video I’ve finished the crossover upgrades. Using jantzen superior z in the tweeter and a mix of Mundorf ecap and clarity cap csa in the mid/bass, jantzen superes resistors, dueland tinned copper hook up cable and Mitchell engineering binding posts.
These upgrades have brought a level of detail, air/space, lush tone, smooth treble and soundstage that I honestly didn’t expect to achieve.
The air and space that the instrument is being played is something I’ve not heard until now, detail of the decay of instruments is absolutely brilliant, I can hear so much more into the recording. The superior z caps are truly fantastic caps to use in the tweeter section, I’ve yet to hear any grain or hardness etc. The high frequency appears to be slightly rolled off at first listen but it’s actually just very smooth and natural whilst still being super airy and detailed.
Quality capacitors absolutely do bring improvements to the sound, this was something of an experiment for myself to determine whether I found it to be an improvement or not. Some people claim there’s very subtle improvements if any when upgrading a crossover but that was not the case for me, they were substantial improvements.
Worth every penny.
More demos coming soon.
