Micheal Yes I did do some of that to start with. I had a VSF followed by a Mundorf Supreme. Yes much better than stock foil caps. (before that a Mundorf Supreme followed by Sonicap then two Mundorfs)I am not sure if you have heard of Tempo Electri...

MichealI first bought VSF for the tweeter and had 2 VSF (in series) and then bought CAST caps. I tried back and forth with the all combinations and ended going CAST followed by VSF. (partly because I already owned VSF but really liked the combinat...

Sorry DuelundI must have posted late or tired? My English was not clear. I would expect the Alexander "not" to sound as good as VSF was in reference to what Steen had said about the VSF having to be hand made. I know the Alexander is machine wound...

Will do that Micheal. Likely this week on crossover pics.They sound wayyyyy better than stock Lascala's. Interesting on the Alexander's. I would have thought them not to sound as good as VSF. In Steen's writing and making the VSF he talked how the...

dgarretsonHow did you end up feeling about the Silver Wire?How did you determine a long break in was needed? To be honest I doubt long break in periods and wonder how much of that is us getting used to the part? Are you talking the same chip? If s...

FaceAgreed on image or sound stage.I admitted a long time ago a poly cap vs. foil caps sound out of phase and is hard to listen too. Same thing with plastic covered wire and silk wire and the difference is easy to hear. I can make an argument on s...

Sorry that response should have been to Undertow who has been skeptical of testing methods all along.I did buy several amps at the start of the test but have been using just two lately and only one for the last while. This is for lazy reasons (now...

TomIn the start of this thread I was not really trying to sway someone one way or the other. Just hoping to give someone an idea of what to expect. (info I was looking for) I do say try for one to try themself and give a good idea where to start, ...

Tom Not sure what you are saying? Are you talking about the Duelund inductor? or something else or everything? Not hard at all to hear one speaker compared to the other? Mono recordings. Both speakers are still hooked up? Much tougher to do from m...

JburidanI do get things from both sides. I am very glad I bought many of my parts before the prices have went up so much. The sound is fantastic but I would not want to make a business case for using parts of such cost. I should total my parts tod...

Thanks TomNot to be noble as I for sure started with a closed mind. It was hearing a full signal chain that was vintage tube amp and foil capacitors speakers and amp that made me realize things were not moving forward. I was quite shocked.Mostly I...
