| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I read once on the net a guy joking about not taking apart a speaker because the inside (crossover) contained dragons. In the beginning of this tests I kept two systems one a former top of the line Linn with all Linn gear right from the cartridge ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I may have egg on my face.I swithced amps to see how the inductor sounded on a SS rectified tube amp. Sound is very strange? The vintage is inductor very choked off? The North Creek volume is much louder? I still can not believe the difference fro... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil A heavy hitting cap review oming. Pretty well the best of the best.http://jimmyauw.com/2009/06/13/be-prepared-for-extreme-capacitors-battle/ | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I can say inductors are wayyyy more complicated than DCR and Iron or Steel or air core. There is resonance there as well. The more I hear the more respect I have for PWK. I paid $150 for the NC and would pay at least $200 or $300 for the vintage o... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil FaceThe first caps I put in were Sonicaps compared to the vintage foil in oil. I did one speaker with each type. I then got my wife to come down and here the difference. (she had no idea which was which, so completely blind)She said "Clearly that ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am going to order a VSF .047 (400v) and Jensen .022 Copper paper tube. Honestly, I am ready to throw in the towel and say Ok Frederik you win. The only reason I am trying the Jensen is Duelund does not list .022. But Face if you got 60uf they mu... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Face 60uf!That must have been a special order? Have you hooked them up? How do they sound? Replacing Electrolytics or poly caps? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund copper hook up wire is here as well as Mundorf solder.The Duelund has this kind of natural smell to it like the caps do. The VSF caps to me smell. A good natural smell. Duelund what stops the oil from drying out? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Any of you guys switch from Push Pull to SET and what do you think?An area I am thinking about in the future. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have been reading some Audio Note stuff and the only thing that concerns me about spending money on a old amp is I have not heard as SET amp. (Dave says I have the speakers for the amp 104db)I love this quote from AN artice. I am wondering if my... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Well George (North Creek) was right. You will notice the inductor mostly though the mid range. Not what I would have expected.The not so good part is the vintage is clearly the better inductor! Much smoother in the mid range the back ground is muc... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DavidIt is not here yet for some reason? I expect Monday.Did you hook up your parts yet?Crosstalk.I disonnected the tweeter wire and there is no crosstalk into the tweeter. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ait I believe you are right as well. I believe the ones Steen was talking about are these at Jensen? https://audio.jensencapacitors.com/products/capmetpape/?crumbsI think polyproplyne would be very good in the power supply. Even as one who does no... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DgarretsonYou might be right (sound wise) but I am unsure on the existing electrolytics. They are old and and this is partly safety. I have heard many horror stories on blowing up electrolytics. I am very excited about oil power supply. One thing ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Now I find the article Steen had wrote on inductors? I believe the vintage is Steel Laminate wrapped in wax paper. http://www.meta-gizmo.net/Tri/speak/jenson.htmlThis does have my hopes up though of the oil filled power supply caps. Steen was a fa... |
