| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I will be putting in the RS tweeter caps. One thing about the Duelund 16ga it is not crazy expensive. My main system is Duelund Silver 2.0. I never felt the Silver needed to be tamed.The Duelund is a little wild at this point hopefully it is vinta... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil In a blind test I ask my daughter who plays guitar which speaker sounded better? In her opinion the non Duelund 16ga speaker. She could hear the difference.Yet there is much to like about the Duelund 16ga. Very dynamic super real mid-range yet alm... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil For anyone who stumbles on this. Changing caps in an amp is low stress as it affects the whole signal compared to changing speaker caps, inductors or wires. The crossover works in unison and any change throws things off. Maybe in a good way, maybe... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Disorientating.I was not expecting to even notice, maybe. The high freq is much clearer and much more. Feels hotter sounding.This wire does sound like the WE 16ga has tipped the tonal balance of the speakers. Better give some break in time. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Removed 5' of internal cheap lamp cord internal wire and replaced with Duelund 16ga with better connectors. (including one terrible connector feeds signal through aluminum screw. Speaker cable still WE 16ga.I did not replace tweeter caps yet with ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have all the parts for a complete internal speaker rewire with Duelund. After reading Jeff Day's site I am going to have to get some Duelund IC's which will be virtually my last plastic!My second system was bought for back up parts really in cas... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have spent quite a bit of time on our tube loving guitar amp brothers pages and magazines. Here is an amp builder talking about different transformers.http://carlscustomamps.com/whats-the-deal-with-brands-of-transformers/ | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I hope this thread gets going again on who has paper bobbin output trannies?My guess is 15 or more feet of paper in the transformer. That could be 15 ft of plastic. I can not imagine how that can be good! | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Eric I started with natural tone and then by changing caps increased the dynamics by a HUGE amount. Like going from antique to modern. They do NOT sound old. Sometimes the new caps are 30x as big in volume. MUCH more dynamic.I do not think many wi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Only the Jupiter Copper Foil. In my pic it has around 30 caps replaced. I did not put in the pic power supply and electrolytic caps.I know it would seem with old Fisher I am going for vintage sound but I was not. I just used old Fishers as they we... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I also uploaded or tried to pics of the amps. Getting in these caps I feel like a surgeon sometimes! All of the caps I have bought for the most part are being used. I have only a handful not used at all. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I uploaded as my profile pic a bunch of the vintage caps I have replaced.They range from garbage to ok. The Vishay ERO West German made ones are ok great tone lack dynamics. The bubble gum ones that look hand made in a bad way are junk! | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Eric and GrannyringYes like mom's cooking but I am not so sure they were so smart back then just the way they wound transformers. Anyone else have paper bobbin and insulated transformers?I am going to take one apart to see how many feet of paper? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil This thread started with me just baffled how a vintage amp got tone so right! Now coming up to 9 years. Been a a lot of fun and some frustration with wasted money and unreliable vintage gear.it is I suspect a series of sometimes just standard prod... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I can not comment on Duelund resistors my crossover has no resistors.i would love this conversation to branch out into paper bobbin paper insulated output trannies vs. Plastic bobbins.i am sure the plastic/nylon is a MUCH better product from a rel... |
