| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi JoeI will give you the long and short of the thread to keep you from reading so much.Thread starts off I was selling a set of vintage Klipsch Lascala's (Alnico magnet foil cap vintage)When selling a guy who was buying them showed up with a vint... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi JosephI would like to say thanks very much for your site as it deals with a very important (to audio nuts) issue of the quality of passive parts. I assume once someone is going to your site they understand that passive parts do matter and one c... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil HotroadyI see another guy just got some Duelund VSF's. It will be interesting to see what he thinks. For me I know they are expensive but I have a bunch of other parts (that were not cheap) and were not better in every way than the vintage parts. ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil HotroadyIt is just my personal opinion but I think you are right to stick to copper foils for your amp of some kind. I read many stories of vintage amps going to poly of which Mundorf is and losing the tone. My own experience is you do best by bet... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DGarretsonIn that article it talked about it not being very hard to take an amp to triode mode. Have you ever done that?I find the part 1 even more interesting and did not know that SET had really never been heard by many until it's revivial with ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil HotroadyHere is the quote from Steen and the link. I think he is clear on physical size and for sure I agree. It is also very easy to see why the idea is made fun of. ($$$ for big caps) "An inductor coil MUST have low, very low resistance and capa... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry DaveIt is the hum that concerns we as well. I will not put in the needed break in time. So that amp is going to be taken back or shelved. My other Fisher EL84 sounds fabulous except for phono stage. (too noisy)I talked to Parts Connexion on ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Got back the EL84 with the partial new power supply.The sound of this amp was horrible!Ended the experiment within 15 minutes and will see what the problem is. It might be a poor quality tube. Work done was ASC power supply caps a Silcon rectifier... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi SherodWhen I started this thread it was nothing to do with recognition. Private sites are my source now for info. I hope that when people read this thread they get an idea of what the parts mean on a realative basis. For me the idea that caps a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The partial poly power supply is done and will hear what it sounds like in the next few days.Lots of stuff coming next while. Duelund inductor, Duelund and Jensen Paper Copper in tube caps and Duelund hook wire.More ASC power supply caps and coupl... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund have your caps been used by any recording studios? I really would like to buy recordings that were done on all tube gear and plastic free foil caps. It is one thing to have your system plastic free but that of course is only half the equat... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Face I do think the CAST take longer to break in than VSF. I found them a little tight for awhile. (couple of weeks)Undertow I read in another thread that you changed coupling caps in the phono stage to great affect. I am very eager to try this as... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Face looking forward to what you have to say. I find the VSF is getting lost here. It is after all Tony Gee's #2 cap in the world. I am finding out that (to me) resonance is much more of a factor than I ever imagined. Sherod VSF was LESS money tha... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Parts Connexion is running the sale for another month so I will be getting more parts.Vintage amp has a weak phono stage. Too noisy. I will be seeing if that is caused by poor (noisy) foil caps in a critical area. I expect so. I am going to start ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Expectations of couling caps.The vintage ERO FOL II's .022 are very tiny. They are just one half inch long and 1/4" in diameter.The Jensens are .7" in diameter and 1.5" long. Using pie x R2 the volume is in metric. So 3.14 x 3mm2 x 12.7 359 cubic ... |
