| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow"use a mix as you see fit of VSF and MR's and your not missing much" This has not been my findings as I said even months ago to me foil caps do not mix with plastic caps at all. That is why I asked Frederik about what was up with that. I h... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil FaceWhy are CAST so much better than VSF? Massive noise reduction. The CAST make the VSF sound noisy in comparison. In my comments to Frederik I did mention that without a doubt I did not get the full Duelund effect if I ran a plastic midrange cap... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi DavidThere is no capacitor on the woofer circuit on vintage horn Klipsch. There is an inductor which I have not yet changed. I have not tried Duelund hook up wire and the caps are still connected with Aligator clips. That is all going to change... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Fas948 I hear that too many VCaps will leave a signature. Any feeling on that? Some say cool?Fas948 nice to hear that you agree with the CAST I thought Tony should have rated them higher than 13.5 because to me they were almost as big a jump from ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil TempoElectric really likes them and i seem to find them very accurate in their findings. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have parts coming and am getting on to fixing up an amp.Anyone ever try VCap Teflons in Electronics? I am starting to weigh size and price options.I would love Duelund but price and size might be a problem. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have put the CAST back in one speaker in the tweeter and the VSF in the other just to see if my earlier impressions were still the same and whether I should buy VSF coupling or CAST but I kind of had my mind made up on this even before hearing a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Vintage Mica caps? Steen talked about these being very good sounding. Anyone ever heard them? Wikipedia says they were manually intensive and high cost. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_mica_capacitorhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_(comp... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Fas948 that is what I would expect but have never done an amp upgrade. Heck until I read Steen's paper on what matters in a system I would always have just bought new gear. After the cap (Duelund VSF and CAST) upgrade in the speaker not onl... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil That is great to hear Dave on the crossover being the most important (single cap) upgrade. I am quite excited to see what you will think of Duelund caps there. I think it is a fundemental change as opposed to incremental upgrade. The sound changes... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Face can't say about the difference from Aluminum to Copper but can say the CAST is a shocking reduction in noise. I am going to put the CAST caps back in one channel and VSF in the other (for tweeters) now that they are fully broke in. The CAST a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Frederik one comment I made a few months ago was that the bigger the cap the bigger the dynamics. Even a bigger plastic cap had better dynamics than the small one. I took a lot of heat for that comment.Comments were very common that "the size of t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Frederik in my test which of course is only my one set of speakers. I could mix and match vintage foil in oil in one speaker and Duelund in the other and listen to both speakers. As soon as one speaker had plastic caps and one with the vintage foi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Dgarretson I would agree totally on the vintage PIO caps. I did like the vintage foil in oil in the midrange 2nd favorite to the Duelund but in the tweeters vintage was just garbage. So much slurring and noise just trash. I think/hope you will be ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Dgarretson with all the caps you tried, you have not tried Duelund correct? The resistors yes? Curious if not, why not? There are a set of used/brand new never used ones for sale here on the site now. They are VSF .33uf if anyone is interested. (1... |
