| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow I will post Chris's response from partsconnextion.CAPs in parallel sound even better......they reduce the ESL and ESR of thecombo.Sincerely, Chris Johnson, President | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Did talk to partconnextion and they said parallel caps are better than series. Now just to pick (guess) at cost effective combo. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have e-mailed partsconnextion to find out about caps in parallel to see if that works?Also on the Alpha core inductor. They are almost $70 which is not bad compared to $300 (I think) for Duelund. Mundorf does sell inductors but from another comp... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am just rebuilding to original specs and the "AA" network uses a 2.5mz inductor and 13uf (cap) on the midrange and 2 (2uf caps) on the tweeter. There is also one more small inductor as well. That's it there is no more parts than that. (well the ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow if I understand what you are saying the inductor made more difference than caps? to you? or is the vintage Klipsch inductor not that good?I know it is iron core and some kind of wrapping. What is the quality of their inductor? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks UndertowYes I too think the midrange even more critical than tweeter. In the tweeter of course the caps are in series and the midrange would be in parallel. I may go next to the inductor.You find that to make that much difference? I was loo... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have went through all the combo's again and still come back to same pairing. Duelund/Supreme. I find it hard to understand how one Duelund makes things so great but the second does not improve things at all. What Tempo has said to me rings so tr... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks UndertowWhere I am having a tough time is dividing up the 13uf for the midrange neither Mundorf of Duelund makes a 13uf so it has to be divided. Duelund does make a 3uf and both make a 10uf. I feel Duelund is the sound I like but Supreme do... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow I am not saying Sonicap is bad at all! This is some stiff competition! Duelund is argueably the best on the planet and Mundorf Supreme is used in B&W top speaker (and the top audiophile cap for volume) and Mundorf Silver in Oil is on ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil JohnK I do think Steen thinks a speaker should be designed as a whole as well. I do think by his writing's that he feels most speaker manufacture's are "under" spending on caps and over spending on finish so that it "looks" better. Steen is clearl... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Stormen I will check that out as well. The last one I could only understand his writing the math I do not have a clue!I did find interesting his 50% of the system speakers because he thinks they are the weak link and within the speaker 50% ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I forgot to put volume size of the vintage caps and DuelundVintage is53mm length 32 width 50mm high (at least 40mm before rounding)for a total volume of 84,800mm (somewhat less as cans are rounded)They are between 64,000cubic mm and 84,800 cubic m... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil JohnK I would have agreed on the tweeters until the Duelund's went in. Bob Crites says he has tested thousands of caps this age and all were out of spec. I have not tested mine but did hear them go bad a couple of years ago. I am not focusing on o... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Dear RaulI am not buying any more Sonicaps. I do just listen to one speaker so adjusting the volume is not a problem. I am at about 40-45 hours on the Sonicaps and my opinion is now much lower on them. I find that in Audio you notice the going dow... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My Linn speakers look very nice (like many other brands) but no doubt use cheap caps. Steen Duelund (I am impressed with dedication to the hobby a throwback to the past)"That is really what you get even from the expensive part of the market. No re... |
