Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

My tech was pooh-poohing the combo ....

" ..as he doesn't like Jupiter caps, and believes that any attempt at cap paralleling other than in speaker crossovers usually leads to spectral overlaps and nasty resonances as likely consequences, ..."

Yup, pretty much my experience too. I like one cap at a time thanks. They all have flavours so pick the one you like.

Which is pretty much what you were going to do in the beginning.

I wouldn't take any notice of what any one individual likes. You have a general consensus. These things are so variable depending on what system or amp you stick them in.

If it's the last piece of the jigsaw and you won't change it, go for broke.

If on the other hand you might change your mind more than once and funds are limited, I'd go for a more general well balanced item that doesn't favour anything in particular. And then concentrate on something else.

You say one or other of these caps is bass shy. That usually says to me they highlight mids and highs where caps have their most influence. Makes them sound impressive. Personally, I would find that irritating.

I'd concentrate on whatever makes me want to listen to the music and makes me forget the hifi.

cheers,

Stephen
