| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Matrix I am not spending more on caps. CAST are much quieter than VSF by a magnitude I would have never guessed.As for mono blocks? vs. very old distorted equipment? The Fisher x101-d blew away my modern Linn Klout. (which was $4k and I had two of... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Stormen the CAST are AMAZING!They are dark and quiet when you first get them though. Also they are hard to get a handle on. A friend was by tonight and I did not tell him which speaker had the CAST in. At first he did the same as most do. He liked... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Dave. Those new SET's are looking better.Thanks Wavetrader good review. A Fisher adventure is not what I am looking for?! The only upside is replacing caps that are almost 45 or 50 years old is not a waste. Of course this lowers the value o... | |
| Need help on electrolytic cap replacement Thanks Wavetrader. All would be excellent but I found out that the output transformer blew in the x101-d. I thought another Fisher would be as good but they are not??? So I will either have to fix the one Fisher or try and get the others sounding ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Now that I have found out what crossover caps can do I am replacing the electrolytic caps in the old Fishers. They are far too noisy in my opinion. I have found a review on electrolytic caps. I want to push these Duelund's to the limit and need as... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Stormen did mention the break in with CAST being dark. He thought and so does Duelund that the break in was around 17 days?For me the CAST came exactly when the cap went so a change of amps. It was VERY disorientating. The CAST is a bigger change ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Stormen you are not kidding. When I first put the CAST in I thought something was wrong? Leaves you confused. I never thought the VSF's noisy? I am still trying to assess this. I never in a million years thought this much difference. What frustrat... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Have the Duelund VSF now in both midranges. The only difference is CAST tweeter caps vs. VSF in other.The difference is shocking! They do not sound similiar at all. A couple of guys were here today buying my Linn speakers. They came down to hear t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I take back any comment that the Duelund in the midrange is not much better. IT IS!Now that I have them one on one (vs. vintage) the Duelund is a massive reduction in resonance. I have a bad feeling about my order. It was for CAST midrange but agr... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Stormen is right but likely correct to temper expectations. He said there was a difference Duelund tempered expectaions as well.So my expectations were I was spending twice as much on a cap that I thought I would struggle to hear the difference. I... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil One speaker with CAST one with VSF. Have not changed the VSF midrange though. Not sure if it is just me but the CAST seem a lot darker. They seem to make the VSF's sound noisy???I am putting in the Duelund VSF in the other mid range later tonight.... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The x100 I should say sounds good but not very good. There is a big difference in vintage tube amps. One guy who bought the Mundorf Supreme from me tried in a set of Klipsch Lascala's and was thrilled. Way better than the Auricaps Dayton and Solen... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I just got a vintage tube amp all check over (tonight) and running Fisher/Telefunken tubes and Raytheon 6BQ5 output tubes and a Mullard rectifier tube. All test well.Sounds very good and will get a good idea very soon. I can say from CAST vs. VSF ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DanI did listen more than maybe it seems. Someone on here a long time ago suggested why don't you try Duelund. So I ordered one with the other caps. Not really thinking much but hearing good things about Duelund. It was Shit Luck. I had been liste... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DanmyersA Crazy Stubborn. Yes maybe! My Local high-end dealer used to tease me about the big Klipsch all the time. I would have all new gear and they would laugh over the speakers. b I will always take the advice but as anyone should do in audio u... |
