Re: Performance: BlackGate FK vs. Cerafine

68.231.145.222

In my experience the B-G' FK's are as good as it gets, with the Cerafine's a fairly close 2nd. However,when you bypass 'lytics it is to shunt HF & RF nasties to ground. ALL 'lytics have a resonant frequency at which point they effectively drop out of the circuit. To prevent this you bypass the 'lytics (I recommend bypassing ALL 'lytics) with a 0.01 uF ceramic or a 0.01 uF silver mica (the best bypass). A good source for the SM's is Hosfelt Electronics
(www.hosfelt.com). Keep the leads of the bypass as short as possible. Adding the B-G's or cerafines will improve the resolution of fine detail (you'll notice it especially on cymbals - more sheen and better attack & decay transients. Both take some time to 'run-in' before they really start to sing.

Happy Listenning !
