| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil SstalwarIf you are looking for warmth and that is your #1 need, then don't purchased the Duelund,Jupiter, or Vcap. They will not give you added warmth. In electronics the Jupiters would be the best choice of the three for your needs as the non-pan... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sstalwar, you can spend more for the Duelund, but they will not sound as good or certainly not sound any better than the Jupiter copper foil cap. I have used both in numerous electronics, tube amps etc... This has been my experience.I find the Jup... | |
| Seems like the best "upgrade" for tube amps.... Salectric, well said and spot on. It requires one to have an open mind and the desire to persue all these important aspects of a build and the resulting sound.Atma, also well said as usual. | |
| Seems like the best "upgrade" for tube amps.... Interesting thought and one that causes me to reflect on my own beliefs and biases on all things audio. Thanks much. | |
| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic Wow! Those Zephrin 46 speakers are a unique design. Most interesting. | |
| Seems like the best "upgrade" for tube amps.... Frank is a wonderful designer and like many skilled designers they simply don't have the desire or curiosity to try and experiment with "boutique" parts assuming they are a rip off sold to unsuspecting novices like me:)I have owned one of his amps... | |

I was close to buying some gear from him until he went off on that subject. I quickly realized while he is a great designer, he does not und... | |
| Do you always keep the Amplifier powered on I leave my solid state amps on 24/7 for weeks at a time if not traveling. Sounds far better and a non-issue for safety. My amps run very cool also. You actually stress gear more with turn on folks. In fact, my preamp tubes will last longer without... | |
| Seems like the best "upgrade" for tube amps.... Agreed. Tubes take some time to reach their best sound. I always find that music sounds better after the amps have been on at least 90 minutes or so. Not day and night, but just more involving and enveloping. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ricevs, I have to thank you for mentioning the upgrade of bypassing all binding posts for better sound on your website. We all agree that better parts equal better sound in crossovers and spend big money on the right parts. Funny thing is we live ... | |
| DAC improvements slowing down? Well stated Steve. | |
| Selling Aesthetix Pandora - What price? My unit is not for sale as I love it. After purchasing the stock unit it was upgraded to Signature status less the DSD upgrade. Outstanding player in every regard. I purchased mine from a dealer used. | |
