| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Differences from North Creek to DuelundThe Duelund is darker more romantic sound. The North Creek crisper with more emphasis on middle and upper freq crispness. Drums have more snap on the NC than on the Duelund they are also of lower volume and c... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Face already ordered. My gut feel is that the CAST would be even better? Duelund has MUCH less noise than NC and I bet CAST even less. I have to admit I never understood an inductor before. Still have to compare against vintage. I bet the noise is... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The inductor is a very overlooked part in my mind. SET had posted on his thread that his North Creek is much better than a Solen inductor. For sure I can imagine this. I have never heard a Solen but there is no way to deal with resonance in this i... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil UndertowYes you are correct. I just could not afford to do what Jimmy has done. I often reverse the parts and use several amps and reverse tubes etc. So Yes not exact but often there can be such a huge change it is not hard to hear at all. Speakin... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am over 100 hours on the Jensen's Paper Copper Tube caps.Jensen vs. vintage. Well not all vintage is the same as is not all new caps. In the phono stage Fisher used some no name cap and it was not very good. So Jensen there all the way.Now on to... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My ears are just recovering from Rubber Soul. I forgot how bad some recordings (compression and loudness) can be.Closing in on 100 hours for the Jensen's and decent break in for the Duelund WPIO. I will change back to the EL84 so that the signal i... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Just bought Rubber Soul on new remastered CD and am doing the burn in that way. It sounds terrible! Why do they keep doing this to music? Turn up all the instruments full blast and that's better, right? Clearly mixed for the video game. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks DuelundI am very excited to see what the VSF does in the DC signal path. I guess that the VSF is coming over in your next shipment at the end of the month? .047uf.So far every Duelund part has preserved the "live" feel well reducing noise a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Frederik You once said that Steen used (for coupling caps)"Prior to his own designs, he used vintage designs such as paper in oils, and wax/paper types".I have the two Jensens in the linestage and the sound is VERY similiar to vintage caps. I can ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I will be installing the 3rd Jensen in the one signal path.So far the two Jensens have increaed dynamics reduced noise made the sound quicker. They do not have a plastic sound like poly caps to me but yet the sound is more like HiFi. But that I me... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry guys I did not mean to stop the resistor talk. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Irish65 on the Duelund inductor.I know you hold the North Creek in high regard as well as Duelund. I now have a North Creek and Duelund WPIO in each speaker. I for sure do not want to diss North Creek in anyway. I will hold all comments bac... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Nice Irish65I would expect with Duelund tradition you will notice a difference.You never really could say what you thought the difference was in Duelund vs. North Creek in inductors. To me the NC is good down low but hardens the sound.I am going t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The Duelund WPIO inductor is here.As with all Duelund products it has a smell that makes you feel you could eat it. It has a similiar look as the vintage inductor (meaning wax paper type) except again clearly better made. The vintage wires (and is... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Jimmy has done it again.I think he wanted to make sure the Duelund was worth the extra cost over the Jensen. Once I am done figuring out which coupling cap matters most, I expect phono stage tube cap but do not know maybe a CAST cap there? I can s... |
