I suppose I could Irish65.I am going to be ordering some more Silver. I have only tried the .5 have you tried them all? Is there a big difference?I am waiting on another cap from Duelund for the amp.I can see why some like the mylar sound though a...

In many hours of listening to the Silver Duelund wire I really like it.The Silver wire does not favour any one freq and is very smooth. The only comparison though has been the Duelund copper and the cheap stock wire. The cheap stock wire is frail ...

JohnKThat being said I do believe DIY can be very time consuming and one needs to set a $$$ limit and be done and stick with it.I am going to finish very soon and will likely be able to stick with what I have done. (I hope) That is where the disci...

JohnK"Since so many variables these tests to me are useless".That is exactly why I started this thread there is not a number to put on sound of a cap. That being said the general rule of thumb is that Duelund sounds very natural to all who have he...

SherodThat is indeed high praise of the Ampohm. I seem to recall reading about them in another thread and them getting high praise. I will do some checking.I may try some as comparison. I have a few vintage amps and all caps do wear out.

Been watching the Olympics as they were here. Undertow nice to see you have liked the Duelund's. The next Duelund cap should be along shortly for the amp. I am just kind of curious to hear Duelund vs. Jensen.

JohnkIt all started in confusion as to why the Klipsch sounded much more life like than my modern gear? It was a second system and I was selling the Klipsch when a guy brought by a vintage tube amp and I went Holy Smokes that sounds life like. If ...

I really like the Duelund Silver wire. Took me a while to figure out the why? I was expecting it to be better (as it should at many, many x the $) but it is better in a way I did not expect. The Duelund Silver flat wire makes the cheap stranded wi...

JohnKI may be crazy, not sure? Is Burt doppenburg still not using the Lascala design? for something? If the design was so bad it would long be forgotten. 60+ years of continuous production is likely for a reason?I am still using 3/4" birch plywood...

DuelundI think you are right. I am glad you are making a copper version of flat wire. (I would not call it foil as it is not that thin)I have the feeling that is more important (shape) than the type of metal of the wire? Both copper and Silver hav...

Thanks AitI was hoping to just get the Duelund Copper thinking it would be a good choice since all my caps are Duelund copper, but did not work out that way?I have never heard Litz wire and likely will not so can not comment. I can say so far so g...

Midrange wired to Silver last night. It did not get hotter like the tweeter.I know some will laugh at this but putting in 18 guage Duelund Silver brought the tonal balance back to around the same as the lamp cord. Which might not be as crazy as it...

I have wired up the tweeter only with 28" (2) lengths of Silver Duelund wire.If someone thinks all wire sounds that same that is crazy! You can hear in 5 seconds the difference. The signal is much hotter and more vivid. Is it better?As a product m...

The Silver foil wire is in.It is smaller width wise than I expected and thicker? I am quite curious as to how this sounds. The Copper Duelund wire is the first Duelund product I have not be thrilled with. I think of it like the North Creek or Mund...

I have researching wire. I never expected it to sound so different???I mentioned earlier that the two speakers Duelund Solid Copper wired and stranded wire do not sound good together. It is the stranded wire that sounds faster. (tilt of the sound ...
