Volley, I'm curious if you have tried the orange Jupiter caps? Specifically made to reproduce vintage sounds.

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 were pretty cheap then... Was not going to cut up old McIntosh's or Marantz amps. That being said Steve Hoffman has mentioned how good these old Fishers sound stock. With all new Duelund caps they are not even in the same league. MILES better! Steve Hoffman has McIntosh and Marantz as well and worth $16k. http://www.partsconnexion.com/capacitor_film_jupiter_copper600.html |
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 will spend close to $1k in caps in an old amp but it is the best $1k I have spent! |
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/ |
