Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
I am starting to wonder if I have not gone to far.The Duelund wire (Copper) was great for the woofer. I am now not so sure for the mid's and tweeter. I sounds quiet mellow and dark. For the first time I have turned up the treble. It is just hard t...

Thanks DuelundWell most of the speaker is all Duelund wire. (couple little bits to replace) Duelund is known for their natural sound. Why?I think Duelund has a signature of lower resonance deeper fuller tones. At first their products might come ac...

I do have one question for Duelund as well. Yes the wire sounds excellent being coated in in silk oil but does oil not dry out in time???What happens then?I am literally back to listening to one speaker the difference is so big now. I still have s...

TomI did not take it as criticism of Duelund. I took it as a very good question of how to control resonance in a foil wire. Assuming I fully understand what you were saying? On the other side of this my 11yr and 9yr could easily hear the differenc...

Irish great idea. 2.0 you say ouch!

IrishYou are right at this point what is a couple of hundred more? I am just going to have to find out which wire. Duelund has always been correct so far so likely are on silver. So far it is a slam dunk no brainer on new wire. It was something I ...

Irish I do not mean it negative on being evasive. You must have some feeling as to what you like/disliked over the other copper wire. Yes I really like Duelund products but also do like the VSF line. It is true though that CAST goes the extra mile...

IrishIt sounds like you are being evasive?What is the sound difference? It is the Silver foil that should resonate more? I do not get the analogy? CAST has less resonance like solid copper wire??? I can see the case of foil being a great wire but ...

IrishDoes that mean the copper wire will sound better due to being solid? (no resonance)I seem to have read somewhere else about the foil picking up noise? All the effort of CAST to dampen the wire (in the cap) and then nothing in the hook-up wire...

Irish65Can you fill me in? The differences etc. I am quite shocked to be honest. Sherod the Duelund wire is solid copper 14.5 guage and feels almost wet. It is covered in cotton. The Silver is the best seller and of course costs more and is 18awg ...

Thanks guysI should not have made it sound negative. I was shocked at how much quieter the sound was? It was almost like after the CAST cap went in I checked the tweeter to see if it was working. It was more than just wire as I set the caps on cor...

One speakers woofer wired with Duelund wire.Sounds weird at first. (like out of phase) I will do some checking to make sure all is wired up correct. Maybe I am too tired?Klipcsh wired the woofer with cheap lamp cord and cheap connection to the woo...

Thanks Irish65I believe my father actually has one of those tools. I did check out the WBT solder and assume it is similiar to the Mundorf Silver I have.

I did get one wire to take and looking forward to hearing this tommorow. I just did not sand off the silk enough the first time, I guess?

Hooking up the woofers with Duelund solid copper wire and either I am doing something wrong or this stuff is hard to work with! Solder just falls off the wire. Very slippery!I will try again tommorow. I did sand the end of the copper wire to get o...
