Can someone tell me what the audible effects of old capacitors are? (in a crossover specifically).

Also, do they keep degrading or is there a plateau where they stop getting worse?

Thanks
 
In an amp ........its sometimes a scratchy sound or long time to get to a steady state .....in speakers maybe a dullness ?
 
I've probably got a handful of new caps in the workshop that may be of use to someone. They are all new and unused. I think they may be ore use for crossovers but If anyone wants them or needs more info let me know, free to a good home ;)
 
If you want shot of them then I'm definitely interested - is there anything you need?
 
Mmm,...let me think!

I could do with a good high quality set of interconnects that are 2 metre's long minimum. I may also need to look at getting some RCA (PHONO) plug splitter/y-cable, 2 of,...again must be high quality.

But then if Zanash reads this he will probably rap my kuckles for not sourcing these through him,...hehehe

That's all I can think of for now.
 
ah, afraid I can't help you out with any of those...

still interested in the caps if you're looking to shift em though
 
PM me your address and I will stick them in the mail ;)

They will have a name of 'The Audio Bahn' on the label, that was my old distribution company which is no more, just don;t want to confuse you (the manufacturer put it on the labels when I requested them).
