| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Well, I decided to place the very best capacitor made into my Dude based on my positive experience with the Duelund Alexander caps. I purchased a set of the Duelund CAST caps. I will now state categorically that this is a major upgrade and has imp... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative The CAST caps in my tube preamp and hybrid amp have now fully broken in and my music is so beautiful and natural. I was listening today and I could not turn the volume up too high no matter how many clicks I went up on the knob. I don't listen to ... | |
| Laying it on the line Bigkidz, Jmcgrogan2 summed up your post well. I would like to look more at just one part of your post to provide an example. The whole argument of capacitance vs transformer coupled has no ultimate, or best, or always and for sure winner in design... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Congrats and I hope you got a good price. You will be most pleased I am confident. Give it some 100 hours for decent break in. That is a big cap and it will take a little time to hear all that is coming. | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative I use Mundorf silver, gold lead free solder. 100 grams of it at PC for some $60. Any solder with 4% silver from WBT and Mundorf is fine. I like the Mundorf with silver and gold. | |
| Laying it on the line Thanks for posting and putting it on the line. While you are just plain wrong on a couple of things, I sure like your passion and spunk!Caps vs transformer coupled is a bigger argument then what you boil it down to. Both have their issues to be fr... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Charles, not sure why you need any hook up wire? Simply place where the other cap is and use the leads on the cap? This is best. If you need wire as an extension because the cap is going in a different spot, I would use the same wire in your speak... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Round is what I am used to. In terms of mounting I have used these with quality zip ties. You could put five or six of them down in an + pattern and secure with zip ties North/south and East/West. http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=292... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Chris has always gotten back to me when I emailed? Use the email address on his site and in the subject line mention " attention Chris". You could also call PC to place an order and ask the person who answers to get you the size. Lastly, I would a... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Charles, Chris at Parts Connection can order that size for you and will get pricing from Frederick at Duelund. I forgot to mention that be sure to order the CAST copper caps for crossover use, not the high voltage 630 v ones meant for electronics. | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative I just purchased the Mundorf SGO caps for my speaker project and have also used them in preamps. They are simply not near as good as the CAST in every respect. The CAST are far more natural and organic sounding. The SGO caps are good, but sound Hi... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative jwm, I bet they would be! It was also more costly for me to upgrade the caps in my 9 cap crossover! | |
| bass suggestions 12 x 16 room.... You need bass trap pure and simple. This is your bottom line need and it will get you what you are looking for period. Buy GIK corner bass traps stacked floor to ceiling in your corners and you will be amazed. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I replaced the REL caps in my Aesthetix Atlas amp with CAST and the improvement was abvious immediately. | |

He is running a big sale right now. That's if it fits. These are flat style so I can't imagine why in the to... |
