Bill,The innuendo comment wasn't directed toward you. It was a general statement/observation on how rumor and speculation can sometimes run out of control and people pile on. I am glad Frederik has responded to this thread. Clearly there's a varie... 
Does anyone love the First Watt SIT2
4orreal,Good luck with your upcoming endeavor. Admittedly I'm bias towards high efficiency speakers and good low power amplifiers. The CSLS-SIT-1 seems heavenly with an appropriate speaker match. Charles,

Frederik,Thanks for the prompt response, as speculation and innuendo has the "potential" to get out of control. Are the variety of CAST capacitors(different materials) labeled for cleat distinction among them? I have the 1uf 630v in my DAC and the... 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Hi Paul,I'm in Michigan and working that weekend. I've heard the full CF system on three separate occasions and was impressed each time. This is why the CF DAC and LampizatOr comparison is interesting, both are excellent and reproduce music not hi... 
What is the best transport?
Alex,You make compelling observations but again, some will counter and say switching power supplies can equal or outperform linear supplies. You mentioned " mechanical" sound and I know exactly what you are referring to. You and Steve (Empirical A...

When did this new construction process begin? Mine were purchased a couple of years ago. I'm curious to know if the" new" version sounds different( could certainly still be fantastic). Frederick shed some light if you don't mind.Charles, 
Does hybrid amp really has the best of both world?
+1 Jetrexpro, yes transparency and natural sound.Charles, 
Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner
Thaluza,You make a good point. I should have mentioned that my BPT 3.5 Signature uses a large heavy duty 20 amp transformer (their largest model).That's why it easily handled all three of my amplifiers. I believe that balanced AC power is an asset...

Roxy54,Yes,I agree with you.It just doesn't make any sense for Duelund to be misleading about their fabulous capacitors and that's why I was hesitant to cast doubt on them.Duelund should clarify to avoid confusion concerning the various capacitors...

4orreal,You are correct, personal preferences dictate so much.I truly find the CSLS to be sublime and stunning. However I realize others hear things differently.Just how things go concerning audio.Charles,

Onhwy61,Agree, passionate doesn't mean right or wrong, just someone expressing a honest heart felt opinion. Thus my earlier tube/transistor analogy. All of this is merely subjective, choose what sounds best to you and be done with it.Charles,

Bill,I agree mylar isn't an organic material but a synthetic. I was referring to the organic sound quality of the Duelund CAST. It'd be nice if Frederick of Duelund would comment. What ever their method of construction they sound devine.Charles, 
What is the best transport?
Dvave,Very interesting and passionate thoughts! Computer vs CD transport is no different than the intractable tube vs transistor debate. There are simply two distinct camps and both have strong supporters. I can say I've heard some good sounding c...

Nelson Pass seems very passionate about ultra simple and pure circuits. It isn't surprising that you'd find it more dimensional(less flat) and better than his highly respected Xa.30 amplifier (with the appropriate speaker match for the SIT). If I ...

The more I think about this I'm inclined to believe the Duelund CAST is what its makers say it is . Personally I don't know of a Teflon capacitor that sounds like the Duelund. So if it is "plastic", how did they get it to be superbly organic and n...
