Well, I couldn't really ask clients to pay more for the CAST than the VSF, if the sound was the same...? :)The difference between the CAST and the VSF is in the internal and external damping.

"I'm beginning to think of the entire audio chain from silicon on up (not just capacitors) in terms of internally generated microphonic resonant affects". This was a part of Steen's modus operandi.

Volleyguy,"I think Jensen would be a much better choice then any poly cap"No argument.

Volleyguy,Yes he did, like them better, that is.

Ait,I completely understand, if it didn't come across in my post, I'm sorry.

Volleguy,If I understand Ait correctly, it's a question if the equalizer should be used or not, more than a discussion regarding caps. So I really can't comment there.I certainly, do not take your remarks as critical.

Volleyguy,Steen did sign of on the CAST. They were the only caps he thought to be devoid of what he termed "False detail". Meaning details not present on the recording but added by the system/components, especially in the high frequencies.

They are ready.

Perhaps it is also worthwhile to consider, that not only did Steen start his audio life as a horn designer, but would weekly frequent live performances. This may explain his affinity for a "live" sound.In all honesty, what else should a designer g...

Thank you very much to the people following this thread who looked me up in Denver. Was great to see you.Best regards,Frederik

Volleyguy,True, he did that untill his designs could be made to cope with DC. His main criteria was to get the midrange right, feeling that this was a neglected part of the frequency spectrum of available modern designs.

Ait:Certainly not, but for the sake of not publishing too much information, would it suffice if I said, that they do differ a lot from the old carbon types, both in construction and sound.

Face,Yes unless otherwise specified.

76doublebass,We are sharing a room with the Kaiser Kawero loudspeaker. It features a predominantly CAST based filter.I hope to meet if you guys decide to show up.

Irish65,I'll give the short version. We are using a new tube fused with our CAST material, which both lowers resonance and allows heat to better "escape" the resistive element.Further, we are using a new type of glue around the resistor, which bet...
