| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have the Russian Teflon and the Russian K40y-9 PIO. I really liked what the PIO did when they first went in. I thought they were teflon's (Russian caps you can't what they are) but they seemed to smooth things out. With the Teflon it does not so... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I put what I thought was the Teflon at only .44 of 12.7uf total value and thought the sound was smoothed out somewhat.I find out those were the Paper in Oil ones. I was surprised to be honest of any change with such a small bypass. But the change ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Retesting the vintage and Mundorf's. The gap is closing with the Mundorf's as they break in. (compared to vintage)On the plus side Mundorf brings out more bass. They still sound rougher than the vintage and always sound fake but they are quieter. ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The Teflon caps are here.I am going to listen to some vintage mid caps put the Mundorf's back in and then leave the Mundorf's and bypass with Russian Teflon. So far favorite tweeter caps 1. Duelund/Duelund2. Duelund/Supreme (maybe Silver in Oil af... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have put back in the vintage foil caps in the midrange.The sound is much smoother voices more real. Instruments do not have that jagged edge of poly caps. All poly caps I have tried are the biggest downgrade you can make to the sound. I have put... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Running the Mundorf Supreme's 24/7 now for awhile.At least 50+ hours now. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The vintage inductor has what looks like waxed paper wrapped around the wires to stop vibration in the inductor.Duelund does this same style but with air core. Duelund is all about getting the plastic out of the system. All the caps have no plasti... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry UndertowI did not see your post before mine.Undertow it is a good case that any heavy guage good inductor will do as I understand the skin effect it is a high freq that would be effected and since a woofer is not that a good arguement can be... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Excuse me Undertow I meant to say of course the tweeter caps are in parallel. Undertow have you done that test on inductors? Waxed paper ones vs. poly covered ones?or anyone?Undertow a copy of Stereophile's article on the Fisher 500c. I am going t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks UndertowI have had a chance to read your comments more now as we were out for the evening. You are right the tweeter inductor is in series. Even when talking to Chris at partsconnextion before he did not think parellal to be a very big deal... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Undertow. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I did check on the much cheaper Mundorf copper foil air core but they use poly to coat the wire?Would this not cause the same problems as it does with caps? and maybe the vintage might be better???Can't afford to find that out. The vintage use on ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Inductor helpI am checking the Klipsch inductors and they use a wax paper wrapped inductor for the tweeter that is air core (I guess) Would this not really be very similiar to the Duelund wax paper inductor. What could be the differnce? Higher gua... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Final thoughts before ordering.I have got back and forth to listening to Linn speakers same source and Linn with the Lp12. Klipsch with tubes and SS and digital and analog. Not sure why but on vintage my turntable does NOT sound very good at all. ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Stormen while your here I sure could use some advice on inductors. Are Duelund's that much better than vintage and do inductors make a huge difference?I have to put the order in today. (a couple of hours)I know the caps I want but inductors???? Th... |
