There are always better-sounding parts to be found, but the question is whether the end user is willing to pay the premium for them at the outset. Sometimes the customer is stretching just to afford the product and adding another $1000+ for the upgraded caps sounds excessive at the time of initial purchase. However, say 2 years down the road, spending $1500 for an upgrade is much easier to swallow, IMO. Marketing involves tough decisions.
Mundorf silver /oil /gold vs Duelund CAST
After hours of testing Mundorf's S/O/G Caps mated with Scanspeaks new revalator dome we were not pleased with the sound of the Mundorf/scanspeak combo the results were disappointing: poor dynamics and contrived not natural sound with a loss of rated SPL.
However; coupled with the Duelund CAST capacitor the new tweeter actually and finally came to life. It is smooth, real, and dynamic with an open natural sound!
Perhaps the Mundorf is better with many more hours on her??
Go Duelund!
