| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have been very busy with work for last couple weeks. I had been over on the Linn site (when home) talking about foil caps and vintage tubes and how natural it sounds. There was another guy there saying the same thing. Talking about his Scott amp... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Just got in 2 more Jensen Copper Paper tube caps and a Black Gate. I want to finish at least one amps power supply as well. Also want to compare a Jensen full signal to some Duelund as well. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil After several days of listening I still feel the same as I did before. Two CAST might be too quiet and two VSF to noisy. So it is going to be CAST followed by VSF. I have one poly cap left a Mundorf Supreme Silver in Oil that did not sell when I s... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Retesting the CAST vs. VSF tweeter caps.The CAST cut tweeter output by at least 50% in my mind compared to VSF. (two in each circuit)Now is this all increased resonance in the VSF? It would be nice to hear fom Duelund on this as this is huge diffe... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Roxy54 I was a ticked man who did not know why my new gear could not touch this old stuff and I had to find out why? (personality trait or flaw) I don't subscribe to the vintage is better thing so I had to understand why? Foil caps with no plastic... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Put back in the EL84 to compare one last time CAST vs. VSF in tweeters. For me it is whether it is 1 CAST with a VSF in series or 2 CAST's. (for SURE not 2 VSF's) I want to solder this up with the Duelund wire (speakers) and one last order on coup... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Since getting an all foil signal chain of vintage and then massively improving with Duelund I have only one nagging question?In the begining of this thread I took as fact my Linn Lp12 sounded great and the Linn Karik a piece of junk capable of mak... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hmmm interesting Dave.I have always wondered why Audio is not clear cut like video. Put 10 guys in a room and they will mostly like the same TV as the best and will not have big disagreements either way. Ask the same question about Audio and you c... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Daz_BikeI do remember liking it CAST/VSF over the other way but not something huge. Of course YMMV. It has been well talked about how a circuit will take a caps characteristics. What I think helps in the thread is you can expect the same as others... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ait Your comment on the bass on CAST. I would not argue at all. My speakers were known to be bass shy. So the CAST were tailor made. I do not think they overstate the bass though. My feeling (like Steen said) is that all other caps resonate high f... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Running all low res caps on one channel. In the amp Jensen Copper Paper tube Duelund VSF (one) and CAST tweeter caps vs. higher resonance VSF tweeter caps in other speakers and vinage caps in the amp. When you put them all together the difference ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry FaceWhat I meant by that is yes there was no comparison before from 2 VSF in series to 2 CAST in series but I really liked 1 CAST followed by 1 VSF. I thought it sounded at least 80% the way to CAST at much less cost. It seems strange how wh... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund so I take that to mean Steen liked the CAST better or felt them technically superior? (which they are)Been busy with work lately. I want to retest the CAST vs. VSF (tweeter caps in speakers) on amp with all the same caps. Trying to figure ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund I can not argue with that (devoid of false detail) at all on the CAST. The caps are fantastic in design, no doubt. When I installed the CAST tweeter caps I put my ear to the tweeter astonished how pure the sound was. They made your own VSF... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil AitTony did say that the Vishay's did help all caps except the Duelund's if I remember right? But bypassing for sure seems to have people for and against it. The Duelund CAST are a little tight they reduce high freq by nature, most of it noise. I ... |
