Would this also applicable to regular speaker...
i wanna try this tweak to the spkrs of my mini compos. Same value pa rin ba?

Sir Good Day,

Just an inquiry..Bakit naging "optional" na po ang 270uf na capacitors?

^Optional po siya sa tweeters - meron ng coupling capacitor kasi. Sa single driver speakers, kailangan po siya.

Brother Fer,

Oo. Puwede. Ganoon na ang configuration na ginagamit ko ngayon kasi tinamad na ako magbaklas.

May PM ako sa iyo.

dumugo ang ilong ko, pati tenga ko, pati yta utak ko! bwahahahaha! may naisip akong mas maganda! ano kaya kung- "how to maximize your amp!" hehehehe!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D just want to thank sir mel! for the cdp mods, amp mods and speaker mods. very accomodating, have heard large improvements kasi sa system ko. kasing taba ko na yung tunog ng system ko. (joke lang, mataba pa rin ako!) bka meron ka pang polystierene (tama ba spelling?), tsaka silver mica? bka pwede namang bumili syo ulit? hehehehe! ilalagay ko lang sa surplus na component na nabili ko ;D ;D ;D ::)  ;D ;D ;D]
OT- nasira yung ilaw ng analogue meter ng amp ko sir, pilot light  yta ang tawag dun pero yung sinaunang version. wala na akong makitaan nun sa raon. kaya  ilang beses ko ng pinalitan ng LED na kulay blue, maganda kasi kapag gabi, kaso palaging napupundi. hope you can help me sir. ::) ::) ::) more power to you!

Mukhang dumarami ang mga kumakalikot hehehe ... kaka adik kasi ...

PM mo na lang sa akin ang nabili mong gamit at bagong address mo. Sagutin kita doon kung ano ang mainam. Marami akong iba't ibang piyesa dito. Puwede kong ipa LBC sa iyo.

OT: Lagyan mo ng series resistor iyung blue LED mo - mga 1.5Kohm 1/4W para may proteksyon. Kung napupundi pa rin, 2.2Kohm 1/4W.

Mukhang napa-interesting iyung component na iyan. Unahin mo iyung speakers - gawin mo iyung ginawa ko sa thread na ito.

OT: Pagkatapos ng speakers, gayahin mo iyung ginawa ko sa CD player at amplifier mo.

For this activity, I believe theory is in accordance with the actual listening. Further, the circuit is already used in amplifiers and switching power supplies (eg cellphones, pc power supply, laptop adaptor etc) so it should give confidence.

Sir Rascal.

Good Day. I have tried it in my Panasonic Mini-Compo. It did sounded cleaner. It seems bass is slightly reduced but later on I think its not. Its more defined now. Its now hooked in my mini-compo. Btw, due to un-availability of 270uf/63v caps here in our local stores, I opted for a single 150uf/200v electrolytic. What would be its effect? What will I miss ewith this values used?

Thanks a lot.

Jeff

Sir Jeff,

I foresee no issues using this value. It is higher than the total of the 270uF/63V in series. The cutoff is lowered from ~125Hz to ~118Hz which is better  :)

However, if the capacitor you used is the non-polar type then very good. If you are using the polar type - it should not be used this way.

Anyway, I do hope you're enjoying with your "new" toy  :)

Tried this using an air choke series with C1 and C2 and the value of C3 reduced to 100nf. The result?
Well, a noticeably cleaner sound with fairly balanced Low Freq. Very useful tweak with minimal cost. Thanks Mel.

Sir Rascal,

Thanks for this nice tweak..I am using the polar typre capacitor...should I change to non-polar type for the 150uf I am using now?

Thanks again...

Jeff

Sir Jeff,

Much better if you can use the non polar type.

Sir jtahanlangit,

You're welcome.

Sa tweeter lang talaga iyung snubber circuit. Ilagay mo in parallel sa tweeter capacitor.

May PM pala ako sa iyo. Iyung sinabi ko, doon sa woofer mo ilagay.

Basically no new updates. Practically, the tweaks are already indicated in this thread. I have already PMed one approach to you  ;)

No problem on the X77. I have one reserved for you.
