Piling on the hours on the Jupiter caps. I know this will set off a firestorm.Jupiter's are not noisy in any way have a clear top end (sometimes intoxicatingly clear) but I just do not find them in the league of the CAST in dynamics... I will cont...

Will do CharlesIf you remember I could not use the Duelund WPIO tweeter inductor? The vintage wax one was quieter but there was DCR change.I can say much like using Poly caps and oil it was weird in stereo at first different discharge rates? The J...

CharlesdadStill working in the hours the Jupiters are tight and damped when new... They have opened up though. Jupiter's are very low resonance for sure. People who say caps do not matter is just crazy! Even the difference in good caps is big!In o...

On the more follow I was talking about.One of the leads just fell off the Jupiter Copper Foil. When installing the other ones I was being so careful it was crazy and then another fell off.I have never had a lead of ANY cap fall off and the vintage...

If so that makes the RS very different than CAST an oil cap clearly.I wish Duelund would chime in here and clear some air and as to why the switch?

Grannyring My guess is 20 hours? From partsconnexion I heard the Duelund RS are wax?Do we have wax vs. oil going on here?

Well the Jupiters are not fully broke in but I do have some early thoughts. These caps are heavily damped. Wax seems to be lower noise than oil caps. So in that sense some may prefer them. This might be similar to when I tested wax paper tweeter i...

4 installed.The leak on the CAST happens right at the lead...More to follow.

Looking forward to them! Should be here today and I will install right away. The Copper Foil are bigger than the standard ones. Interesting on the Beeswax Tony gave them 11.5 another reviewer did not like at all? My initial impression was Tony was...

GrannyringI have actually been listening to the regular Beeswax caps from Jupiter (compared to vintage) they sent the wrong ones.Can you tell me what to expect for the difference? Have you heard both?The Copper ones should be in by Wednesday is my...

Grannyring I guess I just have to hear this! (CAST vs. Jupiter)Not saying you are wrong and can not wait to hear what Jimmy and Tony think as well...If as good or close to as good I intend to buy quite a few... (tight spots)

Back from being away for a week.I have been reading Jimmy has not completed his review too busy and Tony Gee has had these caps for months?I have put in two and will have a bunch more this week coming. I can say they are similar to the CAST in rev...

I see Jimmy has a some Jupiter's in for a test but has not posted the results.Any speculation???He also has Duelund CAST Silvers. So he will not be an easy guy to impress.He too was shocked by just how small they are.For me I had some areas that w...

Jupiters installed in the phono stage. (small values)Reduction in record surface noise and more bass as compared to the vintage caps they replaced. They are much easier to work with in this case and might have been the only option due to size comp...
