Update: Cambridge Sound Works Model 6 Xover upgrade

Oh Lordy....it just gets better and better!
Now that the new caps are breaking in, the sound continues to advance to a new level.
If you think that replacing the original electrolytic caps and tiny inductors with new Poly caps and 18 guage inductors would give you a small sound advantage....you are SO wrong!
This is as good as a new speaker upgrade....without actually going out and buying new, expensive speakers.
$40 in parts and two hours with a soldering iron.
Well worth the effort IMO.

Where can I find the instructions for this? I have a pair that I'd like to upgrade, but can't find out any details on how to do so.
 
I'm pretty sure if you do a search on this forum....or on Audio Asylum (were I found out about the CSW 6 Xover update).....they will turn up.
Basically, all you are doing is replacing the stock parts with better parts.
Here is the parts list:

Two.....2 ohm non-inductive resistors
Two.....7 ohm non-inductive resistors.
Two.....0.50mh inductors (18 gauge or larger)
Two.....0.55mh inductors (18 gauge or larger)
Four.....12.0uf capacitors (Solen, Bennic, or Dayton Poly)

I got all my parts at Madisound.....but Parts Express would work just as well.
Good luck!!

Steve
