Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Hello Volleyguy1,I replaced all caps in the secondary paths (except on)of the 4-way crossover and they sound good. I have not done a direct comparison with the Cast which are in primary path. The exception was a Duelund Cast Mylar 220uF in paralle...

Regarding the exposed copper wires of the Duelund CAST capacitors and inductors, what is the best protection to use? Silk tubbing? Teflon tubbing? Something else?Thanks,VPN 
New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?
Hello,I see that some people have the Schroder LT with the Lyra Atlas. Has anyone tested the Schroder LT with the Air Tight PC1 Supreme? Is it a good match?

Salectric, Thanks. My components are probably quite broken in, first several days in the cable cooker and then many hours in the crossover. I see your point. It would take a while to try all the alternatives given the high number for caps and indu...

Hello Tom,Yes, I have read Jeff's excellent blog. Regarding the mechanical coupling of the Duelund components: 1. Only for the caps or the inductors too?2. Best solution would be the smallest Audipoints? 4. What are Audiopoints made off? Brass? 5....

Regarding the 220uf Caps to replace the Solen in my crossover (parallel to the 2x 15" woofers), I decided to buy two 220uf Duelund Cast/Mylar. Just ordered them today. Looking forward to testing them.

Hello Jimateo,I have now done many mods to my SC-VIs, they are so much better now! The best mods in terms of high impact and low cost were to change the tweeters and to change the crossover resitors to Duelund CAST, please check the detail in my s...

Theaudiotweak,Thanks, good idea. The Capacitor Shootout give a 8.5 rating to them, vs. a 6+ rating for the Solem. I have to check how much area 8x27uf would take or (10x22uf). I hoped there was a 220uf single capacitor solution for the upgrade. Ch...

Hello, Let me post my question again. The only non-Duelund capacitor left in my crossovers are a two 220uF Solen (one in each). Any option better sounding than Solen for this very high capacitance? Duelund CAST and RS are out of question given pri...

BTW, I am back to using just the passive crossover, took out the bi-amplification. It is sounding better now. Sometime from now I will measure again and try again to get a better result from bi-amping (I will keep the second pair of amps and the P...

TAS: Positioning and Support would be where each component is in the external crossover board, how far away the inductors are from each other and their orientation, how the components are fixed in the board, the rigidity of the board (did not chan...

Better positioning and support made a big difference in my XO. All resistors are now Duelund CAST, All capacitors and inductors in the main signal path are Duelund CAST. Secondary capacitors will be changed to Duelund RS in a few weeks. My speaker...

Still working on the crossovers and bi-amplification. Posted some photos and comments in my system's tread.

Hello Rodman (thanks), Saletric, Theaudiotweak, Volleyguy, At partsconnexion, the cotton tubbing for the Duelund components would be: http://www.partsconnexion.com/product1178.htmlIs this right? Or another one? Thanks!
