Greetings,

Dave The Bass was nagging me some time ago to come on here, so while I had a spare 10 minutes ~ :D

So that's what my avatar looks like

#26 SA Capacitors

Post by peperoni »

Hi All

I have just asked Mike for a price for SA capacitors for the 6 in the WD25T V2 crossover - as he needs to buy in £50 worth of each at a time I wonder if anyone else would like to get some and make the pill easier to swallow.

They would be 1.5 uF, 6.8 uF and 27 uF in case you did not know.

Just a thought that we may wish to pursue.

Cheers

Check with Nick At HiFi Collective, he doesn't list the 27uf, but its worth asking. Compairing just the price of a pair of 22uf SA's you would be saving about £18 for the pair.

Oh very good!

How about a 22 + a 4.7 ?

Oh that's interesting, the SA's don't usually come smaller than 1uF

Hi Mike,

It seems to me that you are a trader of some sort and some already know you here, but unless I'm being stupid, I don't think I do. It would be good if you could let us all in on the secret. It might be good for business. I tried clicking your link in the members list but it presents an error page.

Best wishes,

Greg
