| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state Monarchy does make some great hybrid amps for the money. I owned the 160's and liked them very much. They also had that dimensionality other love in tube amps. I picked up a set for $1500 a few years ago. | |
| DIY Speaker wire I ran 14 gauge and three runs of each for each. Three neg and three positive. I also braided mine. Be sure to get THHN solid core copper. | |
| DIY Speaker wire Mechans is spot on. I love the sound of heavy gauge , solid core copper wire. If you have not tried, then don't knock it until you try. It has bested all of the highly reviewed and priced speaker cables I have owned over the years. Yes, the stuff ... | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state Try a hybrid amp with a tube preamp for all the magic! After many amps SS and tube, I have seemed to hit the sweet spot with my modified Aethetix Atlas amp with Duelund CAST caps. Like it better then 100 percent tubes in my system and I love tubes! | |

| Krell Thank you Peter and yes I am blessed. I can also hear the difference between pieces of wire! Get this, even the footers under the amp! This last one will really blow you away. I can hear the difference from day one on a new cap and day 30! So as y... | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I just finished placing four Duelund CAST .22 uf caps in my hybrid Aesthetix Atlas amp. I replaced some fair REL caps. All I can say is why? I mean why don't these builders use Duelund on their top end gear? This was a huge improvement - not subtl... | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. Cd every day | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I emailed Chris at PC today and he will confirm that the 630 VDC CAST now being made/sold by Duelund is in fact the same. He sure thinks so and is getting confirmation from Duelund.PC simply made a VERY large purchase instead of Duelund running a ... | |
