Being payday, I ordered 2 .33uF Supremes from Madisound, $29 with shipping. Geez, did I really pay that much? They'll replace the Kimbers in the horn attenuation circuit. I am debating whether to spring for the North Creeks on sale as did Matts. The necessary 6-10uF's are about $42 and another $50 or so to by-pass with the Crescendo's. Will wait and see what the little Mundorfs accomplish.
I've been keeping the music going a lot and just changing the basic 10uF's with the North Creek Zens has made a *huge* difference in my sounds- I'm sold. No bypassing, haven't touched the other two on the board. I did change the horn attenuator out for Auricap/Mills when very new. I was getting frustrated because I got a couple good Cleveland Quartet/Beethoven late quartets and when all 4 instruments played fast runs it was getting hopelessly congested. Now it's very clean, the sound is probably very rosy, but with good detail, and I'm going to wait a couple weeks before doing the next thing. I still have the other 4 Zen Tens, will probably combine those with a high-end two for the 22s. I'm very sold on the Zens!
I'm using Mundorf Supremes in my Pro Pi Seven crossovers. They make those yellow caps on the stock Eminence crossovers sound lean, grainy, and constricted. Of course, Mills resistors and Alpha Core inductors don't hurt either.
