These are the highest quality metalized polypropylene AXIAL FORMAT capacitors for tweeters and crossover use. They compete with the best of the best and will not be outperformed by the most highly touted famopus boutique type audio polypropylenes such as Solen, etc.
Shipping on these is FREE/included and there is NO handling charge either. I pay the shipping via First Class Mail (in the US only). Read below for shipments to Canada and other destinations.
Higher frequency sound (tweeters) especially reveal the microphonics of capacitors.These caps deliver the finest, cleanest "air" in sound for crossover use, and they are a heck of bargin. For less than the price of a couple of coffees at Starbucks you can replace those hideous aluminum electrolytic caps in your tweeter crossovers with the very best of caps.
These all have extremely low dissipation factors—measured below 0.0005 on my Zenith-Heath meter!--and are type used in quality speakers.
All in are white tape axials ( with very nice long easy to use axial leads.
As buyers know (but I enclose a guide about this anyhow), these values can be paralleled (caps put side to side give the sum of the individual uf values) to give almost any specific value desired!
Voltage ratings range from 100 volts to 600 volts (although anything over 100 volts is more than necessary for speaker building--it is the dielectric material used in construction that determines the quality for this application).
These are the values in the assortment:
2 x 5.0uf Avalon ovals
2 x 3.0uf I/M ovals
2 x 0.68 GE ovals
I did a spot check with a meter on the accuracy of the values and they are are consistent and show a nice, tight tolerance.
Just read the uf value off the old cap and replace with these. (for odd combinations--such as an 3.5 uf--twist a 1.0 uf in parallel together with a 2.5 uf cap to make a 3.5 uf cap, which is well within the target value--lots of combinations are possible!).
The caps in this lot are ones I personally use in speaker building. Their low Dissipation Factors indicates the capacitors ability to hold a charge and to release it instanteously. This precise fast pulse gives cleaner, clearer sound--the "air" and punch that audiophiles praise is top quality sound.
Shipping on these is fixed at $0.00--I PAY THE SHIPPING!-- via priority mail but only in the US. For air letter post to Canada will be about $1.00 more...also USPS airmail rates will be different but reasonable to Europe and Japan--but please be sure to ask before bidding).
If you would like a second set at the same time, one is available at the minimum bid prices and I will pay the additional shipping on the second set.
Payment by Pay Pal greatly expedites shipping. However, payment by check or money order is fine too. sorry, no COD or other credit cards.
