old capacitors

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

 

don't spose any of those caps are 47uf polypropylenes are they?

 

OK, have checked what I actually have (should have done that in the first instance realy), and I have three pairs, each pair being different.

They are all ClarityCap brand;

Pair 1 - SA3u3J630Vdc 0503B

Pair 2 - PW3u3K160Vdc 0503B

Pair 3 - PX3u3J250Vdc 0503B

You can identify the caps here:

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).

 

ta, pm on its way

 

Got it, will send them out today if I can.

Note to all: no more caps available

 

thanks once again - I owe you one
