Hey Folks,

I've started a http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=6093.msg52349#52349">new topic in the Reference 3A owners circle suggesting that the elegantly simple, much acclaimed De Capos could possibly use a tip-top capacitor upgrade, better wiring inside or other such fun stuff. If anyone here would like to suggest what could be gained if anything at all, I think that lots of people would be interested. I know I would!

Cheers,
Anthony

Multicap RTX polystyrene cap for the tweeter and rewire it with teflon-insulated wire.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I can't seem to find a 5uF Multicap RTX (just the PPFX and PPFXS seem to be made that big) - is it just as good to put two or three lower values in parallel? Better?

Thanks a lot,
Anthony
