| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have just ordered a Jensen Paper (630v) in tube copper cap and a Duelund VSF cap for coupling caps for the amps.I am just want to see how they compare to the vintage ones. I have really wondered about the SET craze. I do believe people on the pu... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Checking on whether to get new amp or not. I am very much leaning to just fixing up the EL84's I have and maybe buying a vintage SET down the road. New amps (unless you spend a ton of money) will likely be loaded with plastic. Something I very muc... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am looking into possible reasons why the vintage inductor sounds much smoother.The NC inductor gives and takes away. Yes it has more (low end) detail but the down side is the noise factor. One of the biggest differences is the hard sound and how... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I see Tony has updated his site. A couple noted changes Mundorf Supreme down to 9 from 10 (I think)The Silver in Oil down to 10.5 (I thought 11)Most importantly is the CAST is up 14! That is more like it. I thought the rating would be 15 when it c... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am frustrated and confused. This is not what I expected to find out. The most important thing in an inductor is dampening. The vintage inductor hard as a rock with the wax paper dampening. Much smoother especially in the mid range. I can not und... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks QuocI will check into that. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Peter Qvortrup (Audio Note) rates amps on a 8 point from -2 to +6. He says a Class 0 Push Pull tube amp is the minimum anyone should have for recreating a live event. He thinks the slide in quality started around 1965 to use cheaper parts. He is n... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil In looking for SET amp info I stumbled across this site.http://home.earthlink.net/~ivol/audio/other.htmStill debating SET or EL84? Of interesting note he thought the EL84 EICO fantastic. (for sure with NOS tubes) But more interesting he had the sa... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil FaceThe Autoformer is a step down voltage change as I understand? It is the first part that the signal runs through. The look of the part is very similiar to the woofer inductor. There are taps out of it to the different drivers. http://www.crites... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil UndertowI have heard that about vintage. The voltage used to be much lower than today. The vintage thing turned out to be kind of a fluke. I have never been into vintage. I am not sure I am even going to stay there.When I was selling my speakers t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry Duelund I am sure you will get another mate to the inductor. I just want to be sure it sounds right. I probably should have just ordered two but last time after I heard the VSF I ordered CAST. Are you getting into Autoformer's? I seen on a w... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow From someone on the board. I checked into it and did exactly what Audioism said got just one cap.06-08-08: Audioismhave you heard Duelund capacitor? You owe it to yourself to try or at least audition one. It's one of the best if not the b... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow you might be right. That is why I kept several different amps and sources to test the first Duelund products. Yes the inductor is on the woofer circuit. The Lascala's and Khorns are considered horn loaded woofers. I do admit to testing on... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Just ordered a Duelund WPIO inductor. I just have to hear the difference. I would love the CAST only the $$$ are stopping me. The DCR is almost and exact match to original so no changes there. I hated my CD player until I got tubes and Duelund cap... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Resonance and horns do not go well together. I can see why the CAST inductor was made for Burt's horn speakers. Horns can sound really good and really bad depending on so many things and are very sensitive. I do not mean NC are not a good inductor... |
