| Capacitors in Nola Viper Reference III Mundorf silver, gold and oil caps are used throughout. | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Charles, I just finished reading several reviews of your fine speaker. I now remember they are three way with 5 drivers! Amazing how efficient they are with all those drivers? Funny thing is I have always wanted to own a Coincident speaker. My aud... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative My current speaker project involves nine caps per speaker! Yikes! I wish I only had one. These speakers actually came with some very good parts mixed in with mid grade $30 caps. The crossover is hard wired to boards resting in the woofer chamber. ... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Yes, the VSF are flat style and may also fit. They are also very good indeed. Charles, you would need to know the size of the space and cap involved to know for sure regarding fit. Perhaps you can find out the value of the cap needed and look up t... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Charles, I think the CAST cap would fit depending on the value. No doubt it would improve the sound, but understand it would cost and it can be hard to break away and go to someplace new. I have done it so often now that I no longer mind or fear t... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative A Duelund on the tweeter is the most important place with the mids to place a CAST cap. It would do wonders Charles. For the builder to say he does not like the CAST is, I have to say it, strange and I am being most kind. Read any and all other re... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative I just read Coincident uses metal oxide resistors and they may be Mundorfs and that is good. The inductors also seem to be of good quality based on current builds. The Auric caps are good, but the Duelunds are in a completely different class to be... | |

| Modification that has proved to be transformative Simply locate your crossover and see the brand and size caps employed. I don't know the type of crossover, or how complex, used in your Coincident speaker. The cap values are printed on the cap. Duelund caps are larger as they are oil types. Not s... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Your right in terms of retail Peter, at least in some cases. That is why I suggest the owner take their great gear to the next level on their own. Not hard to do with some soldering practice and internet training videos. Folks spend thousands on g... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil All I know is they sound fantastic. Did others buy them and where did you use them? | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Well said Eliz, at least in your own way, well said! | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil No word so I now wonder? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am looking to upgrade the bass capacitor in my speakers. Right now there is a 68 uf Clarity SA cap. Does anybody know of a good bass cap? I don't want to spend more than $50 to $100 each? These larger values seem hard to find unless they are the... | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state No, the preamp sets the stage for any amp that follows and as others have said is the heart of a system. It is the one piece that ties it all together. A great tube preamp makes all decent amps sound rather good in a well matched system. Class D, ... |
