    I hope you guys are kidding.

    We used generic 12ga copper speaker wire. Clear vinyl insulator and maybe 60 strands per conductor.

    I have tried alot of caps the best I have found are from North Creek Music. I will be putting them in my L96's it has the same crossover as a L112 and L150A. You can check out his web site it tell you a about them and how to use them.

    well, thanks for the cue...

    bigredplane or Anybody do you test a other capacitor like:

    frako, sprague, jensen. (for name just a major player)

    I try to evaluate the capacitor and other live experience do you have a spec...

    And I try to push up the chalenge at this forum.

    exemple skin effect phase shift or drop leakage... on impluse response, etc...

    Hello again...

    I have a chance to listen the 4343 with externat cable copper flat cable and silver flat cable (goertz) !!!
    (6n purity copper is not better of 4n silver purity)
    (and silver is 11 more conductor to copper...)

    the experience is stunning !!!

    The silver is really next hight level...

    My question is goertz is built inductor flat cable in copper but anybody have a chance to listen a silver inductor???

    I love the Jensen oil filled copper foil caps. I am using them as in my tube amp from Cary Audio, but you would have to take out a bank loan to recap a speakers with them. Scott

    No but I have heard another hi techn Goertz cable and I prefer the copper.
    (Australian copper by the way is the purest copper on earth)

    Silver can sound too hot in the top end, if you can afford it okay.
    But remember that inside the box there is a ton of standard coppor wire incl the crossover, the nickrome element wire in the L Pads, and the voice coils are either copport or alluminium. So don't kid yourself unless you were using small gauge lamp flex for speaker cables.

    Well i know the australia have a very great reputation copper and
    the " space an time" cie is build reputation with this copper...

    For me, my best friend is work in industrie of high end and I have a chance to test many many astronoshing price component and on my short list ; the silver it is realy on the front !!

    especially van den hul and kimber silver cable (i purchase all silver van den hul interconnect and speaker cable)

    after very long time roddage the cable is simply faboulus ) the silver cable goertz 2 " silver is realy close more space but artificial space... little over bit space destroy the body... sound look ether gas ...
    the copper is more realistic but many details out.

    and the size of coil is a big impact of sound, Giskard is soldering with silver blend why ?? just 2% in little spot !!! but great difference. aluminium is realy fast but oxiding in the time...

    well well well

    the crossover is same proble at a any electronic component, soldering, cable, parts precision, design, mounting, isolation electrical and mecanical...
    put, connectors, pfiouuu I'm tired... and I pick a solution is easy... drink a good wine...

    Yes actually I performed a analyse in comparison of channel 1 to channel 2 and after verification of coherence noise I check the frequency response of the low, mid connected in crossover. My dual channel spectrum analyser is specifiquely degisn for acoustic analyse and is generate in this case a random white noise and couple hundred average for precision.
    The curve response is clearly exposed but I have not expertise to detect if the cap is maintaint the juice at right place because I have not a original curve...
    Here the picts of responses of 4 driver.
    The response electrical is colloected direct on the posts connector driver with all driver is connect on crossover network. White random noise generator and Small amplifier instrumental connected with very short cable... the result is compare the input stimulation via the result respons on the post driver...

    I hope anybody is look this is detect many problem...

    in this I send a pict in 2131 response in Narrow band little fine of 1/24 oct at 10 Db
    The double slope is normal ??? or the caps is dead ???
