JAM by Duelund

Any more feedback on JAM caps?

@audioman58 You've recommended Arizona Cactus + Jupiter Copper combination which is potentially better than Duelund. Is the cactus + Jupiter combination better than JAM in your opinion?

@grannyring @audioman58 I ask your expert advise on caps choice regarding my speaker crossover. I'm using pure audio Project Horn1 (not the Leonidas crossover)

Crossover currently has 20uF cap installed. Jupiter copper or Arizona cactus doesn't have such high value available. Ideally I'd like to use 18uf reasonable prices cap + 2.2uF top quality ones. That's the right course of action without breaking the bank, right? What combination and values do you suggest?

FYI, I value smooth/musical yet detailed and transparent sound. And I'm ready to sacrifice little detail for smooth/organic/meaty sound if I have to make a choice.

Thank you both for the excellent suggestions!

@grannyring I've heard that as good as mundorf silver, gold, oil is - it is little on the leaner side. That gives me pause. I've some Jantzen silver zcap 22uf. Last night I put them in and the sound became detailed but lost some musicality. But this same cap sounds superb with Voxativ. Not so much with horn. Hence making sure to go with less detailed (no silver), musical, smooth and organic sounding cap.

@audioman58 Great tops about hot glue. Btw, I don't think there's enough space to fit all three caps on the crossover board. If I've to pick two caps, Clarity CSA + Blue or Clarity CSA + Jupiter?

Yes, I'm using the mundorf board. I believe the legs of the caps needs to be long in order to fit them on that board.

Interesting that you mention Verestarr cable upgrade will be bigger than caps upgrade. I use duelund hookup wire (also western electric) inside the PAP. Both are excellent. Not sure how much of upgrade it'd be going to Verestarr from Duelund/WE

@audioman58  Extremely helpful feedback. My PAP Horn1 crossover came with 20.2 uf cap installed per channel. Here are the options you suggested so far:

1. Clarity Cap CSA (15 uf) + Cactus Blue (2.2 uf) + Jupiter Copper (3.3)
2. Jantzen Alumen Z cap ( 10 uf + 8.2 uf) + Dueland Jam (2.2 uf)
3. Jantzen Alumen Z cap (10 uf + 10 uf) + Dueland Silver Foil by pass cap

Option 1) is the most expensive. Option 2 and 3 is very close in price. Not sure what will sound better. What do you think about the following:

4. Jantzen Alumen Z cap (10 uf + 8.2 uf) + Cactus Blue (2.2 uf)

Option 4) is cheapest (only by a tiny bit).

btw, I ordered Path resistors to replace my Mundorf supremes in the crossover. However the Path resistors are 10W and going to replace Mundors 20W in PAP. Is that ok?
