| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Oeaohooquote" The haze I feel contributed to a fuller sound by masking the details.."Have you heard both caps in real time? The resonance you talk about with Ampohm is not in any way even across all frequencies. The fullness is in the middle upper... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil OeaohooI have a fair bit to say about what you have said but am off to work now.You need to compare the Ampohm vs. CAST in real time if you can? I have Ampohm and have done so against VSF. The Ampohm (which I like in a way) are exactly like the vi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Break in should be near done.When listening in stereo the mind focuses on the channel with the CAST. When the balance goes back and forth the CAST side has (as Frederik mentioned) less amplitude. Interesting. Does the mind focus on dynamics over v... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil BarrysandyI would say people knew about capacitors different sounds far before 1980. In the vintage amps I have better quality caps were used in key places in the 50's and 60's. West German Vishay ERO's used over generic caps in key spots.A Marant... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Frederik your Danglish is excellent.When in stereo the CAST cap dominates and overpowers the others. Yet when balance control is used to shift signal side to side the CAST speaker has less amplitude. The cap dominates through dynamics.My feeling o... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have installed a Duelund VSF alongside the CAST removing the vintage cap for better testing. (not a big change less tizzy maybe over the vintage plus more bass)One channelCAST and VSFother channelJensen Copper Paper Tube and VSF.I would like to ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Charles1dadI have not read this very long thread in a long time! (went back to what I said ages ago)I can say the CAST has not behaved the same for break-in for electronics as crossover. I have no idea why?Crossover CAST started dark and opened up... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I would not call it HiFi ... Natural aggressive and tight. Overpowering the other caps. My CAST tweeter caps took a couple weeks to break-in the were tight out of the box. VSF sounded good right out of the box and got better. All that being said t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Charles1dadThe CAST is clearly in the break in phase. The sound in stereo favored the speaker with the CAST with a BIG tilt in volume and dynamics to that speaker. I do not want to put to much into this phase as memory serves me that the CAST need... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am just stunned at how much energy is lost in most capacitors including VSF. I have not fully assessed the "sound" but can already say on a technical basis for sure it is incredible how different the CAST is from Jensen, VCap Cuft and Duelund VS... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Disorientating.When CAST went in the tweeter I thought I wired something up wrong. No other cap did that including VSF.This time at the start stiff and tight sounding. After several hours the CAST cap overpowers the others. (which in the left chan... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil One CAST cap in Ampohm out. Going to take some surgery to get the other in.So far dry and tight sounding??? Something weird going on? Not what I was expecting?Might have try the other cap in another amp? I know CAST do take more break in time than... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DuelundIs there a correct way to wire in for polarity? Both leads are the same.Thanks | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil One area to note is the new Duelund caps do not have the customary Duelund smell? Anyone else notice this and why? Duelund and comments? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The Duelund CAST caps are in and they are WAY bigger than the VSF caps or the Jensen's. I have yet to find a case ever where the bigger heavier cap did not sound better. They go in tomorrow if they fit! |
