| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Wow Stormem Just got back from holidays and read the review. In my mind they are much better than VSF. I still think 15 or 16. But at least Tony made them reference grade. For me having the VSF and CAST in series is working very well. The vinyl I ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry Dan slow reply.Thanks I have gained some appreciation for digital. It's long lasting and how these caps have revealed so much of my vinyl to be in poor shape. (wayyy more than I could imagine)The local used record store was thrilled when I b... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks DanI am a so so Stones fan. I did find out that my Beatles Bluw box set was not as good as I thought. I can for sure tell the previous owners favs. At least that is one thing you do not have to deal with in digital. (physical wear) I do sti... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil No don't be sorry for the "rant".I just did not know that CD's that were done from the era were good. It makes sense though as the vinyl was excellent from the same listings you mention. The only problem is finding vinyl from that ear in good shap... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil WavetraderWhen trading in the lp's I picked up a few Cd's from the era you are talking about. Muddy Waters, Theloious Monk and Miles Davis. I did not have any CD's from the era. I just wanted to see if they were better than modern CD'. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Indeed the CAST do have a profound effect. I can not imagine owning speakers without at least VSF in them. (prefer CAST)If money was an issue I would cut other areas of my system first before crossover caps. I totally believe Steen now that the cr... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Wavetrader I have been doing some new vinyl reviews.For me I feel it is the only route right now. I will turn my used vinyl into some new ones with store credit. Does anyone have any recomendations on which label?I had read Michael Fremer'r review... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Wavetrader How would you describe what the CAST have done? When you say some of your recordings sound good on yours and not on your buddy's. Are both systems of similiar level of quality and style? and is this difference pre or post CAST?I have fo... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry Stormen for the confusion. My crossover is 2 2uf caps in series. I have of course only 2 (CAST) and 2 VSF caps. So I have to go one of each. So I am not bypssing just figuring out which cap should be first the VSF or the CAST. I currently ha... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DanI came back to vinyl around late '90's. I went to buy a CD player a Linn Karik and the store said what about a Rega Planar turntable. The Rega was much better at $750 then and the CD player was $3500. At the time I was in a state of shock how t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Dan they are singing like they NEVER have in the 28 years I have owned them! I am the one who is writing in to Arthur's site about the caps (CAST and VSF) and my feeling is if he had moved the Khorns down to Class C (upper) from Class B the... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Wavetrader I am very glad to hear that about the Black gates. I am going to do the re-capping the Fisher. That Stereophile article compared the Fisher against a $42k amp as well. The Fisher was not better but I think shocked even Stereophile that ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Stormen any experience in mixing VSF and CAST?Thanks | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Gone through 120+ pieces of vinyl to be traded in. The noise is not from the vintage amp these caps let you hear any defect in the vinyl. Excellent vinyl sounds amazing. It is not a negative of these caps as they are so precise you know when (with... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Matrix All clearI am leaning to the new SET as well. Maybe I just had a fluke Fisher. You are right though the other ones have not been that great. I do though think the vintage can be very good amps. As Arthur says amps just have not come ... |
