| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I should state and have before that when using vintage amps and changing coupling caps (or any caps) which for SURE change the tonal balance it is an easy adjustment for me. (tone controls)Vintage and Ampohm caps -4 on treble and +4 on bass. Even ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I see the Duelund caps are in from Denmark at Partsconnexion.It should not be long before they are here maybe by the weekend?In the EL 84 amp that I put in the Jensen and Duelund VSF in the one side to compare vs. CAST when they get here it is jus... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am excited about the CAST for electronics coming. We will see if my gut is right but I think CAST will be very good. In the Clarity White paper I think it was 30%? of people who preferred high resonance capacitors. I know more preferred low reso... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil It is just my crossovers that were in series. I already owned the VSF's which worked out nicely meaning not more money for CAST which are costly.When I did the basement here the book I used for advice (on doing up the room) was the sales distribut... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have placed an order in for a Duelund CAST cap (might up that to two) and will likely get at least 3 more if they sound the way I expect. They are due in on Wednesday from Denmark. Then they will be shipped to me. Maybe end of next week? I live ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil GrannyringYou can increase the uf on SS rectified? (unlimited) I understand you should not exceed a 50% increase on tube rectified. That is my next project the power supply in the SS rectified amp. Very much a pain in the butt to find the right pa... | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ahhhh that's better! (vintage in and sounding wonderful)Comparing the Jensen Duelund vs. the Ampohm vintage as coupling caps. Duelund doing what they do best turning random sounds into instruments. Three biggest improvements of all parts changed a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil A link to a Leak Stereo 12 article.Paper in oil power supplyhttp://www.44bx.com/leak/TL12_50yrs.htmlOf course the amp was very expensive in the day compared to wages.Now that the basement is done back to this power supply issue.I was really hoping... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Charles1dad I am sure of it. The light weight Jensen sounded it's worse at high freq. they sound oddly enough what they look like light and dry. Shrill and harsh. I remember when it went in, just awful! (I was hoping for improvement through breaki... | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil There is a pair of Black Gate WKZ's on eBay for $1200. I tried to get Peter (Audio Note) to sell me some before. (obviously no luck)I have never heard the Black Gates just so much about them.I think they are my size. Scary even to look!I had one E... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I remember back at the start of this thread taking much flack.I was selling a set of speakers when a guy showed up with a vintage tube amp that looked like junk to me. My first experience of a complete foil signal path amp all through the speakers... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hooked the amp back up to main speakers. One of biggest changes of any that I did was going from vintage power supply electrolytic cap to the Jensen.I remember being stunned at the difference.The biggest downgrade!More than anything I have done. T... |
