| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Took my old Linn Karik CD player to the friend who bought the Khorns after hearing my system.It has been a long time and many Duelund parts and my speakers sound nothing like original.What I wanted to know was how does an old $4 (I think) Cd playe... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have done more extensive listening to the Jensen Paper vs. Duelund VSF. often on Mono CD's just to be sure.The differencesWith Duelund sounds are indentified much easier less random sounds. (this makes music more enjoyable)Duelund has much more ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I will be having some more time in the next month for some more tests.I have been digging into the recording process more as it seem there was a huge improvement in the late 40's early 50's. It seems the Neumann U47 mic is credited with much of th... | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund Hmmm you did try tar? Are turning over every rock for better sound?I am waiting to see on partsconnexion your Rev II wire. Any idea when it is coming out? Jimmy is trying your resistor in his pre-amp? I thought they were just for speakers?... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DuelundThe thread mentioned paper in tar caps. I have not heard of that but can see the sense in it for dampening. Anyone heard paper in tar caps??? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have been doing some digging into the Neumann U47 tube mic. (regarded as the Holy Grail of mics)These are known as capacitor mics. Funny thing it is tough to find out what kind of caps they used? Guys go about rebuilding them and give great focu... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry to interupt the resonance dampening discussion.As I had mentioned long ago I am still very intrigued by why the recording process improved till the late 60's. As much as I have enjoyed the Duelund parts they clearly reveal that the recording... | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I do have mine sitting on cloth and plywood and the plywood is on cork. I am not sure if this is good or not it just was what was already here.Maybe duelund could comment on the need (or no need) for isolation and what kind? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Not sure if you are around Frederik? I have been looking for some info on Steen's interest in horn speakers. My midrange horn is an Atlas Alnico patterned after the famous Western Electric 555W. (and it sounds FANTASTIC) The last WE sold on e-bay ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Friends Khorns have AK-3 network. I seen them tonight but have not heard them. I gave him Steen's paper on speakers link. (the best article I have ever seen on speakers)It is very easy to understand why many prefer the older Klipsch networks. They... | |
