Jupiter caps are here and there is a MASSIVE size difference from the CAST. Not saying the Jupiter will not sound good but is much closer in size to the vintage than the CAST. In fact Jupiter is much smaller than the Jensen Copper Paper tube caps....

Took apart the amp today to check on room for the small value Jupiter caps.What I seen was my other Duelund CAST cap is leaking the other one to the pair. It is a fairly new leak just started. (I could not hear it still sounds great) Not thrilled ...

Interesting to read page #49.Much talk about inductors. Oddly enough the part most will "draw the line" on and to be honest so would have I...I have tried the vintage wax paper, North Creek and Duelund VSF. The North Creek was of a lower DCR and t...

Grannyring Too bad wrong size on the North Creek. I have a 2.5mh North Creek but did go to Duelund VSF. I wish I had even went to CAST. (one of the only regrets)Treat inductors as every bit as important as caps if not more. Just shocking how much ...

GrannyringLooking forward to hearing Jupiter caps in small values. Duelund does not give the discount on small value CAST anymore.My vintage parts are wax paper and there for sure is some merit to it. Wax is really good in resonance reduction. The...

In a previous post I had mentioned the Ampohms sounded VERY much like vintage I want to test that again. I also said once the vintage in the midrange did not sound a lot different than my VSF and I might revisit that one. It might be me hearing th...

After a couple weeks listening to the all vintage amp I have called the repair guy to basically beg him to fix the amp (move up the waiting list) with all the Duelund caps and some Jensen Paper Copper tube caps in. Vintage is just a mess! (timing ...

Bill for sure did not want you to think you were being picked on.Frederik I think there is a natural skepticism people have to a company establishing a quality name and product and then claiming lower prices for the same product. (been done so man...

Tas my feeling on this is women do not care about HiFi... They do however love music. Another one that struck me a long time ago was my teenage daughter would say I am literally afraid (for real) to go into the basement and turn the corner. I know...

I think this has reached the point that Frederik should shed some light. My original CAST caps had this organic smell the last bunch did not? Or at least I remember the smell of the originals VSF and CAST.I can assure everyone they for sure are oi...

Charles In doing the testing one part change at a time was done to avoid trying to do sound tests by memory which I thought could lead to the brain saying it is better because I spent $$$ on it.Cost was another factor when I first bought Duelund p...
