| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Out of sight out of mind. Value is in measurements. A sand cast resistor measures the same as a Vishay foil or a Duelund. The sonic difference will make you jump out of your chair. If they can't measure the the benefit of brass fasteners over stee... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Undertow for your response. You, like me seem to make all the values plus or minus 1%. Do you believe that manufacturers go to the exacting component value matching that most contributors to this thread subject their own components to? I be... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil UndertowThank you for your efforts of observation and Clarity..pun intended. What ratio works for you with the combo of MR's and S/O's. Example please. Thanks Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DaveAre you saying to measure the value of the main cap. A cap that is is supposed to be 10uf and measures 9.5uf then you would add the same brand and type of cap in this case .5uf. This is exactly what I did some years ago with a set of Dunlavy's... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow,Certainly appreciate your thoughtful input on these very difficult and time consuming evaluations. In my own experience I have found that the addition of bypass caps in speakers results in a loss of precise focus and change in the harmoni... | |
| Just a stinkin fuse... So Chuck lets buy a new mold..We both know how these speakers work and can work and the resulting playback is in 3D.. Tom | |
| Mapleshade bedrock stands for large monitors Peter Snell's patent from the mid 70's had a rendition that predicted the floor speaker inneraction and the geometry to overcome this problem. Mr Snell's patent is a thing of beauty and describes in detail a speaker and many of its boundary reacti... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Going to take a couple Zanies and smoke the peace pipe with my neighbors daughter and explain how resonance control is beneficial within the hemisphere and makes for better coupling. Probably be playing a cd in the round. Tom | |
| The CD player is dead....... If you can touch it you can feel it. Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil As a former commissioned salesman I request a % of that increase on every Duelund component sold hereafter. Thank you for your keen observation and your gratuitous response. I will forward you my direct deposit information. Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Years ago I had built up ladder type resistor bridges made from the then state of the art Vishay resistors to replace the cheap low quality sand cast resistors in my SC4's. When I told John Dunlavy of what I was about to do he said it would make n... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The Z's I used to replace a few of the Dales's in the Wyred4 Sound preamp volume control.. select values that are in my normal listening range made for a vey nice improvement in noise floor and transparency. Plus there are ones that are always eng... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ait I wondered who would post first about this catch point. I agree... this was an experiment based on effects of damping and their side effects. All of this was done 8 or so years ago. Since then we use brass shot as the fill material around the ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sherod the wire I used in the cabinet and everywhere else has a small insulated cavity around the conductor that was filled with the same steel bearing I experimented with inside the crossover. The wire could be overfilled to the point where it to... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil You want to minimize the storage time by tensioning the components of the crossover to a mother board such as Ironwood or brass terminated to ground...the floor with single piece footers, preference of brass or bronze. I have added bags of steel s... |
