OK, so last night I popped in a pair of GE 97F motor run oil caps @20uF in place of the Solen 22uF's on the compression drivers of the Theater 4's and like the effect. There is a bit of a watery, quavery sound that I expect with new caps but I hope that will settle down after a few more hours. But the first couple of hours of listening reveals a more continous harmonic sructure with a reduction of grain that I often find Solen caps add to the sound. Very musical effect, so far. The only down side is a possible reduction in the amplitude of the high freqs which of course, may be just an aural/mental responce to the missing Solen "tizz". G.

I should go down to my local surplus store and look at the "metal cans" they have in stock again. Never really knew what they were. If they have the right values, it would be a lot cheaper than buying Solen caps (although Solens are already a great deal compared to most boutiques) Gar.

I think 20uF Solens are are a bit over $8 at Parts Express and I paid $12 for a GE 97F at Grainger. Still cheap in my book, esp. compared to the prices for Auricaps and Mundorf, etc. G.
