Andy - thanks for the clarification. The C is for Copper in CSA and the CSA is reported to be a big step better than the SA. One day I will directly compare the SAs from the 2.4SE with the new CSAs. Hi Tom, It will be interesting as what is the difference between the "SA" and "CSA". I personally am a bit doubtful as to how much the difference between the copper technology vs. the older "SA". Sometimes I think the marketing is getting ahead of the technology itself. I think for the most part, it’s the dielectric material of the capacitor that determines the quality of the capacitor and not the "copper contact". Without knowing more, I still would prefer capacitor that has the reputation such as the Mundorf Supreme or various Jantzen capacitors. |
@holco Take a look at this if you’re not already aware http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/coils.htm Also, I previously suggested mounting resistors on aluminum to help with cooling when you had them buried under caps. Yeah, um, do *not* do that. It appears you will have more room on your new boards to fit everything and give the resistors some breathing room. |
Great potential deal for a Thiel SS2 located in the Colorado Springs, CO area. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Thiel-SS2-Smart-Subwoofer-System-10-Woofer-1000-Watt-MSRP-6500/264137072362... |
beetlemania, I'm aware of the do's and don'ts placing coil's, how to placing coil's near capacitors is new info for me, thanks for the link :) But like you said, there will be more space on the bigger PCB's, and if Jim Thiel didn't calculate the specific distances between the coil's I see no problem but rather an improvement. |
