Hey Ron
That's an interesting question. I think I've read in some of the X Statik threads of people using the platinum bypass caps and as you know, the X Statiks use that same tweeter/
Now, if I understood that article I read the other night on bypass caps, the purpose of the bypass cap is to completely discharge the main cap to prevent "smearing of the music" if that main cap is not completely discharged/
I would think that this would be bemnificial om most speakers as it is going to provode sepereration and therefpre greater detail.
Guess the question is how much of an improvement is goint to be noticed....
I know that so far in the OB7's, I am noticing a consdierable difference, or at least what I consder to be .. In a way, it may not be a fair comaprision as they are different speaker designs ....on the other hand, they do use the same tweeter. I'd have to say to this point, I've heard more of an improvement than I had expected and as we discussed, I think it will only get better with more burn in time,
I wish I had heard a pair of N series speakers with no upgrades so I could compare how much the sonicaps alonge made , then how much of a difference adding the platinum bypasses made/
I'm anxious to hear what Danny has to say regarding the paltinum bypasses pssibly being used in the X LS Encores
