Crazy crazy crazy


If we ever get through all this craziness and Axpona kicks back up meet me on the second floor at the bar. I’m buying the first round. Stay safe friends.

I cannot DIY also Dueland cast copper caps are freaking expensive! @onhwy61 thank you for the test I scored human but being a droid sounds kinda cool. @arch2 I prefer Coupling and by that I mean the hilarious BBC show NOT the horrific American version.
@yuviarora very cool. Ever try silver foil? Just curious given the copper vs silver debates. Regarding your Brystons, photos Ive seen of Duelands, they seem big. Do they make small ones that fit inside the Bryston chassis or am I only thinking of the massive Duelands ala Jeff Day?
The amplifiers only use (2) .1uf signal path capacitors per monoblock. They also (3).1uf capacitors in the power section, they are not that big.. they fit in the chassis pretty easily.
I am using Tinned Copper cast for the signal, and Duelund JDM Copper cast for the power sections.
Also they use 2 main power filter capacitors each, both are Mundorf (Self Healing) Supremes.

I Got to the Tinned Copper after a lot of experimentation, and they are worth the price, and are as good as advertised. Tonality of instruments is very interesting. They sound very live.

I have made cables out of Silver and SilverGold foils, both USB and XLR... and in my system copper was the best. SilverGold USB has a very nice timbre, but the audio image is flatter in comparison, and the treble can become annoying in extended listening sessions.

SilverGold Foil XLR somehow has the deepest stage, but bass is a bit bleached out, it might be a good match in a different setup with sub woofers installed probably. The tonality is cooler compared to pure copper, but just doesn’t have the body. Very easy to spot on the Sax. (Copper has that sex appeal oozing out of it sound here) Girls fainting kind of deal :) 

Pure Silver is not a good match for my system, I have Mundorf Silver in Oil capacitors on my tweeters, and have Silver alloy fuses everywhere, so any other addition of pure silver in the chain goes south pretty quickly.
@yuviarora - getting what for your tweeters from Duelund?
Specific with values you need?

I have a mixture of Duelund and other capacitors, I really like the silver foil bypass caps in conjunction with other high end. The Cast VSF copper in my speakers on my system page are shown.

I’d like to upgrade my amplifier also, but I cannot get a circuit diagram for it, unfortunately.



Hopefully I can get it all done, that is before the zombies take over :)
Well, perhaps the zombies are already running the show?
@rixthetrick I need 10uf on each side.
Now that I have to move from the state that I am in, I will be looking for a house with a dedicated Listening room..... somewhere away from major cities, in nature. So I am probably going to invest into a set of Magnepan 20.7s. Rebuild the crossover with Duelund Inductors and capacitors.
I talked to Duelund, and they are seeing a major crunch on supply, and quoted a year lead time for any new orders. So when I build it I have to go about sourcing these parts efficiently, going to have to do a bit of a mix and match with values that are in stock, ready to be shipped.

And yeah, Zombies have taken over 100%.... when will they hit the streets though? probably sooner than we all think.
