more on jensen as speaker caps

62.42.63.4

Posted by paco on November 28, 2000 at 09:53:01

as already stated in my recent post on this board (11/26),
i'm really astonished by the musicality, refinement and delicacy
that these superb caps have brought to my system; yet i'd really like
to know about more people using them in crossover networks

by reading the references given in the jensen website (click
below if you care), i'm learning that there are people who
seem to have compared them with more famous brands (mit, infinicaps,
hovland) and claim the jensen to be superior

also, they quote Gizmo on speaker networks this way:

"I vote for the JENSEN path. So far these are the best sounding foil inductors I have experienced, and the combination of JENSEN foil inductors and oils caps compared to my previous combination of foil inductors and polypropylene film is better in every regard.(...) There is greater clarity, harmonic authenticity, and in a game of relatively, there is relatively a lot more of what I love in music.
Okay I give upand it is quite shocking the difference between the Jensen parts and the film caps and other brand of foil inductors that using plastic film insulation. I am quite surprised at how there has been a ascension of voluptuous wholeosity to the sound of my passive crossover."

do you have some idea about what high quality foil inductors and
film caps are being indicated here, without mentioning their
specific brands by their names? i'm rather shocked by the very
cautious way in which some well-known gurus carefully avoid any open
criticism of some celebrated manufacturers (maybe they think those parts
aren't that good, yet they don't dare tell us clearly?)

i'll be grateful for any help, opinions, etc,

best, paco
