I instaled Duelund Cu-Sn bypass capacitors into my phonostege, bypassing Jupiter 1uF output capacitors. Before that I did 3 days burn-in of Duelund Cu-Sn bypass capacitors in FryBaby2,
Yes I got what I expected. Vivid guitar and piano strings and much more real cymbals. But I lost violins main tone. It was sound like an upper-midange dominated over a lower-midrange.
I run FryBaby2 during 8 hours connected to phonostage input directly, bypassing SUT. FryBaby2 was working in lowest voltage MC mode. Phonostage was on, and amplifier was off. It gave a very significant improvement.
It make sound better, more musical all-around and the lower-midrange become more rich in tone too.
But still violin sounded a little too thin. Than I tried to change interconnect between phonostage and integrated amplifier from Acrotec 8n 2080 to Duelund DCA20 (with Duelund Cu RCA connectors) and DCA16 (Switchcraft RCA). Both Duelund interconnects made violin sound natural.
So, pure Cu-Sn Duelund solution works the best!
