| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Here is one for you for blind test. I hooked up the amp on test speakers before taking to the main speakers. I thought I hooked up the right channel to the Duelund and Jansen caps. There was almost no bass in the right channel compared to the very... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Just moved the Duelund VSF and Jensen Copper Tube coupling caps to an vintage EL 84 style amp with new Jensen Electrolytic cap in the power supply. Seeing if the results are the same in different types of amps.EL 84 amp had lacked bass definition.... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Just doing some comparisons with the Jensen Copper paper tube vs. the Duelund VSF again. Duelund better bass sharper crisper less muffled even after a couple of years the difference is still very large.I have never heard the CAST in electronics. I... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DGarretsonIf I understand what you are saying is that amp designers used high uf electrolytics caps in part because the ESR is so bad that compensation was needed in uf in size?You say that film caps have 1/100 the Electrical Series Resistance of ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil BarrysandyI heard the same comment I mentioned by someone else Neutral but not Natural. Mechanical might not be accurate maybe Neutral is? (then go on to say VCap Cuft Natural does not describe them)I could use many good HiFi terms to describe the... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil BarrysandyIt is interesting you mention the VCap Cuft as I was just comparing them today in my phono stage. (been in a long time as they have a legendary long breakin) I my opinion the VCap Cuft is not as good as even Jensen Copper Paper Tube I am... | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sorry not a cap comment but the Oppo BDP 95 is sounding better all the time. A ton of detail. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am back to testing the VCap Cuft vs. the Jensen Copper Paper Tube. I had started this before construction but shut down till it was done. I have not heard much about this cap in awhile? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil HorchaiNot a bad idea. I have not looked inside the Oppo so have no idea if this is possible? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Oppo is already more detailed on Redbook than my CD player. Hmmmm Oppo getting smoother as well. I am starting to hear what all the fuss was about! | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Oppo BDP 95 sounding somewhat better and is running 24/7 for breakin. Still unsure about the Oppo? I wish it sounded like a $10k digital front end played movies and every format. It does a lot but I do not think one is going to replace an expensiv... | |
| "BEST USED" CD player or players at about $1000 Sunnyjim I have just bought an Oppo BDP 95. Six months ago my Linn Karik Laser went and I bought another Karik III/Numerik. (loved the sound) The Linn was about $6k+ new and I paid $700 and they go on eBay for $1k to 1.4k. The linn sounds way bett... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil GrannyringSteen Duelund would say 50% of the system $ should be in the speakers and 50% of that should be in the crossovers. That crossover is a big deal! Also for most a HUGE weak link. A nice finish sells crossover parts?I have been pushing Duel... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I remember reading in Steen's papers that the capacitors that he designed could only be handmade at this time.Look forward to hearing from Frederik. Is it just volume of handmade or something else? |
