What you are showing is a *VERY* early version from the late 60s.
AR started with the Chicago-made box caps early on. For a reason
so obvious, even you should be able to figure it out?


** The same type of caps were in my pair of Us made AR2Axs, totally stuffed.


You keep reasoning from the specific to the general.


** I did not do anything of the kind.

As per usual, you have deleted my entire post and forgotten what it ACTUALLY says. Usenet etiquette *requires* you to QUOTE the parts of a post you are responding to.

This avoids such errors, ambiguity and allows further responses to REFER to the exact words.

You claimed that AR did not do thing the cheapest possible way.

They did and more often than not.

I supplied a pic of ONE example of what I meant.

FYI:

Two friends of mine owned pairs of AR11s, built here under license using kits supplied from the USA, in the late 70s.

The x-overs used non-polar electros feeding the dome mids and tweeters.

Replacing these with 200V, polyester film caps made a VERY audible improvement.

You are so full of ****.
