Hi,

mid-high crossover: Duelund Cast or Pathaudio resistors?

Thanks!

I put psth audioon Everything for the bass picks up the most heat  and the path keep the performance rock stable , and the Bsss stays tight and focused as long as the capacitors are not stocky Solen I  am a big fan of the Clarity CSA caps for large values and I have been using Tonys sdvise ,Humble Homemade Hifi capacitor reviews the Cornell Dubilier 940C  .01 uf  3000 c bypass caps work very well for a low cost way to make things uniform , Tony explained  by using the very high 3000 v  type their end caps conductor copper is much thicker .
he has been using them for years unless you want to use the a Duelund silver foil 
for the teeeter which is slightly better still at $250 a Pr, vs $7. I get them atAllied 
and wire I use a Neotechs best Occ 7-9s pure copper Teflon ,Awg 20 for the tweeter and Awg 16 for the bass,mids.  Connectors a must copper ,gold 
copper base metal for sure then Crap brass that’ doesnot sound nature and 3x less conductive. I like the new Mundorf  Evo Copper gold  Loudspeaker terminals 
if you are going to do a Xover see it through completely  also a fantastic cap true bargain are the Jantzen Alumen caps up to 10 uf ,if you have bigger caps mix in 10%- 20 %  if possible if using like on big caps like 47 uf  and good solder 
I like the Cardas sounds good and flows good.
No competition, I have used them both fr well over a year .Path Audio are typically under 1% max distortion
and very detailed and clear 
Duelund are nowhere near as low in distortion around 5% and the carbon is colored  sounding by comparison 
the path Audio need a solid 150 hours to fully runin .
