Hi all, i have been absent from these parts for a while - been concentrating on work and study - but now i have a little more time for my passion for hi-fi and related tweakery.
i have done quite a few mods on my speakers now and have received very worthwile results to date. now i am ready to tackle a significant upgrade in terms of replacing the capacitors and resistors on the crossovers. aparantly, the capaitors have a habit of degrading over time and as my speakers are more than 25 years old (all the drivers are new though) i thought it time to update.
i have purchased the appropriate replacement capacitors(Jantzen Audio) but because of their size i will need to create a new circuit board. this is no problem as i planned on doing this already as the exsiting cb is copper plated - which is showing signsa of oxidisation.
so, the question is if i wire the capacitors, resistors and inductors (in the correct series) point-to-point with solid silver wire (18awg) do you think this will be a problem? i am just thinking that maybe it will alter the total resistance offered by the original crossover design. or am i just talking rubbish?
thanks in advance for any help
