| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Well he bought the Khorns.Good news for Duelund. He does not mind the idea of another $4k in parts just for the speakers. We went looking at systems and I just said he should come here mine as a reference to other systems. That seemed to be it, no... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Well he is off it Indiana tomorrow to buy a pair of Khorns and vintage tube amp. He was over today and could hear a difference from the Jensen and Duelund and he liked the Jensen signal better. I did not tell him which he was listening too. He was... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Reynolds853I understand what you mean now about being lucky. He is lucky as he gets to hear the cap comparisons first hand without having to part with the $$$ first where else can one do that unless someone has a friend?He is coming by today as I ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry for any irritation I have caused. I only meant that for anyone who thinks caps all sound the same they for sure do not and even caps of relative style (and likely rating) Ampohm (foil in Mylar) Jensen style there is a very big difference fro... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The friend was by today and is now bidding on a mint 500c off e-bay. He does not want to really even look at systems anymore. I have said it is much more than just the Fisher and not to go crazy and hear some more systems. He thinks it sounds real... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Face I believe you are correct and of course electronics are different that crossover and caps are of course speaker specific to a point. I do want to clarify that I am not negative on the Ampohm. I have said I really like some of the vintage foil... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil ReynoldsI have various vintage tube amps nothing crazy although the vintage foil in mylar caps sound almost exactly like Ampohms foil in mylar which Tony Gee ranks 3rd to the two Duelund's. Favourite amp would be the EL84 but do most testing on a ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I was out with a friend to local hi-fi store. He is looking for a system.Started with a $10k system. Terrible! Then heard two $40k to $60k systems. They were getting closer both SS systems by well known names U.S. and U.K. won't say which.The one ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Been away for a week on a cruise. Spent as much time as possible listening to Jazz trio and excellent String quartet from Kiev, Ukraine. I have never listened so intensely to compare to a system as it was never even close in the past. Well it is s... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil This thread started off by wondering why did a vintage tube amp with all foil caps and vintage speakers with all foil caps sound so alive compared to modern hi-fi.Not sure if anyone has noticed but in Tony's top caps the top three are all foil cap... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ampohm testI had wondered if pairing an Ampohm with a Jensen Copper Paper tube would correct some of the Ampohm's weakness.The Jensen is bass strong and dynamic unlike the Ampohm. Ampohm has the "see through" but flat sound. (to me almost exactly ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Reynolds853While doing your speaker have you thought about the internal wiring? Not sure what you are now?I must agree Duelund/Frederik do seem to want to keep a group of products whose sound quality improvement is very real. The only Duelund prod... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Reynold853I can not comment on the S/G/O as I have only had the S/O. Do post back on here it should be interesting. The VSF may come across as flatter but with better tonal richness. Dgarretson did mention long ago something that I believe that we... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Speaker all wired up. End of that experiment.Testing 2 Duelund VSF vs. Jensen and Ampohm. Ampohm was still in and later vs. 2 Jensens.Of note. Duelund Copper very tough to work with. I had no woofer for awhile did not get the wire clean enough. Th... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Test of Jensen vs. Duelund VSFThe Duelund for sure has the richer tone. A more liquid sound in the midrange but it seems the Jensen Paper Copper Tube is more dynamic.Now some joked about this but the Jensen is bigger cap. In every case I have trie... |
