Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC
ADD:The main difference between the two is in their Timbre. Jantzen wax sounds rich and velvety, perfect for jazz, acoustic and classical. The Mundorf sounds drier and faster in comparison, good for EDM/trance. Both are copper foils, the housing m... 
Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC
Inductors make a MASSIVE difference in sound quality, as much as capacitors.The Jantzen Wax Coils are dead silent and have a black background, and have amazing dynamics. Get the 12 gauge version...I know this post is 5 years old, but I had to corr...

So I replaced all the capacitors on my Matrix USB H card for some AudioNote Kaisei ones.The caps were a hard fit, but got it done somehow....If you guys are using a PC as a source, do not look past that dedicated USB card. The caps took a certain ...

A better fuse will make a difference in every piece of equipment that uses a fuse. Filament dampening and heat management play a very big part in audio quality. Materials used in the construction also affect timbre. Sounds crazy, till you try it o...

Okay.....soooo I am in the camp of not bypassing signal capacitors. At least in my application, they caused issues in both positions. Sound got smeared in the mids, and the timbre change in the tweeter position came with a similar smudging of soun...

@noske  Most Solid state amps have inrush protection, it is tube amps that you have to usually worry about, and that is why people use slowblow fuses for them.If a ceramic fuse blows on your solid state amp, it  won't damage the amplifier, you ...

I work in industrial Automation (or used to).I also have a ton of experience working on Audio equipment, and my comment about the fuse blowing up was just a silly attempt at forum humor. I can build/repair anything.... so not really worried about ...

So just put the Gold Plated OCC Copper Neotech fuse into my DAC. 3 strands .1mm (5x20mm) Filled with SiO2/mineral oil mix. Early report, the pianos and Cymbals really stand out to me, timbre is like a romantic Jazz club vibe, sweet and full, but n...

Unlike you George, I am okay with trying new things out. If you are right about bypassing capacitors, Trust me I will be the first one to come back here and tell you that. As I have already said, the .1uf caps did not sound good as bypasses, they ...

Thanks for the info. Much Appreciated.I just got (4) .01uf Duelund Tinned copper foils. I’ll bypass both the mid and the tweeter caps on my speakers. Sadly no Duelund Silver foils were available anywhere, they might have been the better match with...

They were 0.1uf I tried 3 different capacitors.From everything I have read, .01uf is the value that is best used for bypassing. Larger values can cause coherence issues, which is exactly what I experienced. I’ll give them a shot, hopefully they wo...

Sorry George, I can’t take anything you say seriously. You have blown all your credibility with me, and at this point I am more inclined to thinking that bypassing capacitors is a good idea just because you stand so vehemently against it. I’ll wai...

Thank you for the reply. @millercarbon I have some Mundorfs Silver in oil on my tweeters, so I should stick with Duelund Silver foils? Or maybe add a bit more color and go with Tinned copper?I have tried bypassing with. 1uf caps, teflons, and Duel...

@millercarbon  what is your opinion on bypassing crossover capacitors?I can't take George seriously anymore, would love an answer from someone that has actually tried the stuff they are talking about. I am thinking of bypassing a tweeter cap with ...

Good luck with your brass rods. I am finished with this conversation as well.Thank you
