| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil EricWould really like to hear your best "value" improvements?I think Grannyring and mine were both removing crappy connectors. My speakers had the signal going through an Aluminum screw could not believe how much a difference that made for no mone... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Two $5k amps the one on the tweeter was running through a <$2 tweeter capacitor. This leads me to believe we (some of us) are ok with more gear you can see than better parts you can not?That must be visual value rather than sound value.i have n... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Erici agree! When you mentioned value you struck a cord on the very reason this thread was started!I was looking for caps and this or that person was saying things like all capacitors sound the same for the same capacitance?So in theory then every... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil EricAre you talking about boutique caps? In the the beginning of this thread when purchasing Mundorf Supreme caps and Duelund VSF I went in with the mindset I had just thrown my money away. I could not believe the difference!Then bought what was n... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil SchubertI do not want to sound for or against old tubes. The Russian old military spec 7189 tubes were much better than the new Gold Lions 6bq5's I have/had. They sound better and last last way longer.I just wanted to know have you tried the Gold ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ericcan you clarify your comment on price of products devoid of reason? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil EricSome of the oldest Fisher caps of the late '50's were really not much more than your hand made caps. They look like foil and paper hand rolled and dipped in some kind of epoxy. Loose tolerances of 10%. The later Fisher's used machine made Vish... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring"They use the same materials inside, but more material can have a slight impact on the sound"I will look for the info on Duelund caps but I am pretty sure the 600v electronic caps use somewhat different materials to handle the higher vol... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Schubert you will be happy to hear I changed out all 6 new tubes and put back in the vintage and it does seem to be the problem.My amp sounded like worn out power tubes but they are fairly new. Had to turn the treble way down a splashy worn out so... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil C_avila1I agree with grannyring. I can not say on Jupiter but I think Duelund uses different materials in electronic caps that are 600v.All you need is 100v in speakers and they might even sound better as they are designed for speakers. Duelund is... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Schubert of the old Fisher amps I bought many were just because of those old tubes in case that was the reason the Fisher's sounded so good. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Just curious Schubert have you listen to the new Gold Lions? 12ax7's?I have RCA Mullard's Fisher branded Telefunken's and sound tested them against new Gold Lion's and found the Gold Lion's excellent. Now that was new Gold Lions and I am not sayin... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have been running 1 year on EL84 tubes Russian Military ones. Gold Lion EL 84's did not last at all. They were frying in a few months.i know many vintage 12ax7 lasted for decades but do the new ones?Something is off. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil A question to tube lovers. How long does a 12ax7 last? In particular a new 12ax7 Gold Lion or Psvane?Mine are exactly 4 years old and could have 10,000 hours on them.The tone is going off. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Grannyringon 1) Duelund wire is getting better. 2) I can imagine this wire being fantastic or over the top.I easily hear you on on the wire going from pull it out, to magnificent. A interesting product for sure! I must say it does not even ... |
