Then I started to play other LP's with vocals only to find that some were so harsh sounding that I could not listen to them. Then I remembered the time I used a Solen in series with an EV T350 tweeter and the sound was so piercing that it wasn't tolerable. In switching to other types/brands of caps I found that there was a huge difference in HF sonics and I finally settled on metallized polyprops of a particular brand that I later also used in my Flamenco xovers with great success.
