crossover capacitor replacement

[Altec Best]

Yes I am.They are being rebuilt now by a good friend Dave (Dgwojo). So I have no comment at the moment.I wanted to A/B them with the Solens to see what I prefer.The Sonicaps are much more expensive than the Solens though.When I get them back I can give you some more info on them.The Solens, if there is a break in period,which I don't believe in.I believe when you buy a new cap it is at it's set value that from the moment you put it into service it slowly degrades over time that's all.But a break-in period ? That's a myth IMHO! (What is more likely is your becoming used to how they sound) When you rebuild your crossovers and put all new components it should be spot on at that moment, with values very slowly degrading over a 20 year period or so.The rate of degradation depends obviously on the amount of usage,and time. IMHO...
