Just ordered another Duelund cap for the shoot out with Jensen.I also ordered Duelund Silver Foil wire for the the hook up. I do expect the Duelund to win but will see. More natural midrange than Jensen

TomMine is a 10 guage and I do still have it and would have tried the material but have already bought the Duelund's inductors. Is this the same material Dgarrestson was using?Just one question how did you measure your Q? You must have some seriou...

TpsonicMy speaker parts are done. (all Duelund VSF and CAST) I have Duelund WPIO inductors and they sound excellent. I just have to wire up permanent and might try some of that Silver foil hook up cable to compare against Duelund's Copper. (which ...

I just went to partsconnexions website and in the listing for Duelund wire the Silver is foil and the copper (which I have) is solid. Hmmmm might have to test that one out?I just thought the difference was Copper and Silver. I was thinking I had c...

TpsonicSomething has occured to me that I never thought of. The North Creek inductor that I found to be a frustrating part as it had some good qualities but sounded hard. I thought the reason was resonance, is it? I wonder if now it was the skin a...

Extremely interesting website on speaker design from Tannoy. Frank from Tempo is very big on the large vintage Tannoy's for the $. http://www.hilberink.nl/codehans/tannoy52.htmWhat I have learned is that 3/4" Birtch plywood is thought to be one of...

TpsonicThat sure goes against what we have been told. (thin wire) I read lots of hostile thoughts on Maple Shade. (mostly from people who have not heard their products) A lot of what they say is for sure against the grain. So I take it skin affect...

TpsonicSo that really does work thin wire? HmmmmSherod I do like the no plastic for sure. I am going to stick with Duelund though. I see Jimmy has installed another set of CAST cap's. He is now so thrilled he is going to order the Silver CAST. At ...

Sorry Sherod for the confusion.No I was just posting a link of a guy who owned a vintage amp (who loved it) with foil caps got it back from being overhauled (no doubt with poly) and it lost the magic. I too found the same with my speakers. It was ...

It seems like someone else has heard the magic of the vintage amps. Got the caps replaced and end of the magic.So JohnK is it just "my tastes" or is their really something to foil caps. I already know the answer. I am glad I have kept one all orig... 
Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help?
I believe I can help here as someone who owns several Fishers. It is the caps. I have done a very long thread on this very subject. I too was fascinated at the astonishing qualities of these vintage pieces.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?c...

Has anyone tried Maple Shades wires? Interesting ideas of thin wires.

JohnKIt is true it is my tastes. It has been said on here by many others though they do feel the same. The Klipsch are long done. After great results I wanted to know if the same could be done to an amp.Right now one signal (in the amp) is all Jen...

My computer had crashed awhile ago so just getting some log-ins back. Of course agreed the choice is not just of materials but how they are put together, no one could argue that. Tempo Electric had the old Jensen Aluminum Paper in Oil were Tier F ...

SherodThe IC's were noticable as well? Have you done the speaker wire?Undertow Plastic has nothing to do with it? Ok what is it then? Why do all my low amount or no plastic parts always sound better?
