"Mundorf caps are just average sounding"Duomike to bad Mundorf were not average sounding. Most companies use caps of wayyyyyy lower quality. I think I know what you mean though average compared to CAST.

On the Duelund thread there is a link to a Tannoy blog where someone is talking about in their opinion the VSF sounds better and are cheaper than CAST. VSF the cap that does not get so much discussion as it's big brother. I for one do not agree wi...

Roxy54 At first it was laborious but not anymore. At first I had no idea what to expect now a good idea. Explain to me the science of a fuse I just have no idea?

I have the feeling CAST caps pass a lot of current through them when they are forming at least in electronics?Then they settle down. Is this due to construction?I have not had a single other cap do this.Read a good blog on Duelund Facebook about T...

Just installed the phono stage CAST.At first the one of the output tube glowed very hot. I was thinking short.Then quickly settled down. The CAST is doing as always just over powering the other caps. I am surprised more have not commented on the i...

Just order a phono stage CAST cap. Thrilled the way the amp sounds so far andI have high expectations of CAST at this spot in the circuit.

I remember at the time wishing Duelund made flat copper to compare to flat Silver. I was never sure how much of the difference was because of flat and how much was Silver vs. Copper?

HoustonreefWhy not a few inches of Duelund .5 Silver?I have tried solid core Copper Duelund and it recessed the highs. Not sure Avantegarde uses for wiring but stranded copper in my mind chops up the sound. I have Duelund .5 Silver all internal us...

I can say that I am using Duelund Silver 2.0 version II speaker cables and as good as they are they do not make the difference CAST caps do. If the choice was one or the other for the same dollar gets caps.

Sorry about this reply I think I was on another section of the thread.How does the Alexander compare to Jensen? I would think close?

Hi MichealIf I remember correct you had heard the Jensen Copper Paper Tube but not Duelund VSF or CAST? (not sure)I would rank them more likeDuelund CASTDuelund VSFJensen Copper Paper Tubethen VCap Cuft which have strengths over the Jensen's which...

For Christmas I have asked for some Blu-Ray (Audio) music as well. Tom Petty is one of the only one I can find? Neil Young but that is a box set. Right now I am getting familiar with the phono section which still has the vintage caps. I must say d...

Charles1dad I think electrolytics maybe should be illegal in the signal path. (just kidding)I put back the vintage electrolytic in the power supply and it is MUCH better than the modern Jensen. The vintage is twice as big at least and 3 to 5x as h...
