Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Let me give the Duelund comment more background. This is my experience in electronics only. I have not tried them in speakers which may yield a different result. Even in electronics they are outstanding and my second choice after the Jupiter coppers.

Justubes2That is my exact finding with the Jupiter caps which are now my go to also. Perfectly balanced. I like the CAST, but have found time and again they are tilted upward in the upper mids. I think some love this sound and thus rank it higher.... 
Potential seller's strange policy
Wow! Strong comments. Completely disagree based on my substantial experience and reality. Just too broad of a brush being used here. I have separated the two and with wonderful outcomes and actually saved the buyer money. We are not all Devils on ... 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Jetrexpro, you nailed it. Well done sir. One 8 or 10 watt SET amp can play much louder than another 8 watt SET amp without the distortion Ralph talks about, if the amp has a robust power supply and iron. 10 watts is not created equal in all 10 wat...

Last two comments are spot on with overseas sales. The seller is being smart. 
Romulus CD player--
Sorry about the typos....Yamamoto. Those other dacs I owned certainly did some Aphile tricks better, but none could quite match the simple musical pleasure of the Yamamoto. The Romulus was very musical and perhaps if I mated it with the Perfect Wa... 
Romulus CD player--
Thanks Winson. Yes I moved from the Lampi which was bested by the Romulus to the Yamamto that will stay. I like the Yamamoto more than any $10,000 dac I have heard including the mighty Lampi family. The Yamamto is a very simple and special dac. No... 
Bad news for audiophiles?
No news here. I can be fooled with wine, not audio. I have purchased lower priced audio because it sounds better. Price plays no role. For some it would. We are all different, no way to lump all Aphiles into one camp.

I am curious if folks have heard a diode or bridge rectifier that they feel made a real improvement. In your experience do they impact the sound as much as capacitors or even enough to mess with?

CAST are great caps, but in my system I found them too tipped up in the upper mids and lacking in deep bass compared to the Jupiter copper foil caps. I found the Jupiter caps evenly balanced from top to bottom with no exaggerated upper mids.I woul... 
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...
Al and others. I read the post by Ralph and must share an experience I had just about one month ago. I have a newly purchased 10 watt 845 SET amp that sounded good with a particular power cord I had on the amp. However, I was not prepared for what... 
Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker
I looked into Elrog, but they seem to have reliability issues? I did not know Jeff used them? I assume he has had no issues. I bet they are wonderful sounding tubes.

Forgot to mention that I have some Psvane WE845 tubes coming based on comments on the net and Jeff here on the Gon. 
Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker
10 watts is plenty and I have not heard any sign of distress or compression. I sit only 8 feet away and listen at 75 to 85db weighed average most of the time. These glorious 10 watts are absolutely perfect for me. I do think my amp's 10 watts are ...
