| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund I’ve had Duelund’s Cast PIO/Cu, as coupling caps in my Cary monoblocks, for the past few years and loving the presentation/realism. Guess I’ll now have to try their Cast-Cu(Sn) Loudspeaker caps, in my Emerald Physics speakers. Thanks, pal. | |
| What were some of your early Hi-End audio gear/influences? Lots of live music in my early(formative) years, then- the first Dynaco kits, as a teen(thank you, David Hafler). | |
| Making a product to sell and the need for modernity "....... the audio rags, principally The Absolute Sound, started pushing imaging at the expense of tone." ???? What I recall and embraced, is some publications that, "pushed" realism(comparing what’s reproduced, to the sound of actual acoustic mus... | |

| My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system. @2psyop - "But you should have gotten the Bose Wave radios.
