Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Duelund enters high voltage entry level cap. Is this in response to what has been talked about here? That meaning that the power supply is very important more than previously thought? (at least by me) Is this new cap for the power supply?

Duelund Steen had mentioned when he designed those caps with no concern from a board about costs what his focus was. (best possible sound)I believe we really have two markets. One of speakers built by larger companies with a focus on the bottom li...

I agree with all that you have said Undertow except in the older Klipsch with the foil caps autoformer.The Klipsch foil in oil were the second best next to the Duelund VSF in the midrange. The vintage Klipsch even had a iron core wax paper inducto...

Wilson site pics.A blurred pic showing what looks like poly caps and cheap wire wound inductors with plastic ties to me? Is the pic blurred on purpose?http://wilsonaudio.com/product_html/maxx_xover.htmlEven in a set of $30k speakers what can a man...

UndertowI would really like to know what is in $20k and $30k speakers for crossover parts. My 5k newer speakers had just garbage and the older $5k Klipsch much better. The new speakers had el cheapo electrolytic caps in the crossover. (less than $...

Back testing Jensen vs. Duelund as coupling caps. Looking at just getting complete Duelund in the signal path. I had taken out the amp with the Jensen electrolytic. Not knocking Jensen as the coupling caps are pretty good, but I do not care for th...

Info too come soon on power supply caps.Searching the net for another test.Duelund have you ever tried any of your caps in the power supply?

Just putting on the hours. I can not wait to yank this part out.Fast, stiff, tense, dry, shrill and noisy. Voices have non human sound frail sound.Vintage cap slower, lush, liquid and musical.Coming out early next week unless a huge change.

AitI am going to have to do some more reading about this for sure as I am just floored by what the first cap does after the rectifier tube! Just unbelievable!In my opinion this may "the" most important part of the amp?It actually scares me! No one...

Hours on Jensen Electrolytic I would guess 25-30++.When doing the midrange speaker comparison cap test I found the vintage foil in oil to be the second best to Duelund and the difference not huge. (this confused and shocked me)I once said after pu...

AitI would not have a clue how to do that! Now when you say eliminate PS caps from the signal path completely? So no PS caps? Are regualar PS caps considered in the signal path? Anywhere to read up on this?

DuelundYes I might be crazy. Like I have mentioned before how did some old tube amp pulverize my new SS amp at the start of this thread started my brain thinking and testing wanting to know why?????One of the things that shocked me the most was th...

I am going to start clocking in the hours for break in on the Jensen Electrolytic in power supply.I have some ASC poly caps here to compare in the same amp in the power supply. This will take some time for the Jensen electrolytic caps to break in....

Changed my first power supply cap. Not the improvement hoped for. So far it sounds bright to me. I am hoping for break in improvement.

Didn't fix voltage surge but seems to sound better.
