dc10audio use Duelund CAST capacitor ?

Hi Again Jeffrey

I didn't want to give any links to the speakers I was talking about since I don't want any accusation of spruiking, schilling or anything like that.

But they are Lenehan Audio on the Gold Coast in Australia and are close to where I live. I go down there all the time to hear their gear and own quite a bit of it. Of course that makes me biased so when I talk about their stuff I like full disclosure.

The custom speaker I am getting made is a variant of the following:

The difference is mine will use HD3 instead of MDF, have external crossovers, have even more bracing and a special star grounding wiring harness that will dock straight onto monoblocks at the rear of the speaker.

Here is some pictures of the crossover in my current speakers:

Charles1dad,

That was my initial thought but thinking upon it further I interpreted their design philosophy to be literal. That led me to think if you want the wood to resonate, then like musical instruments, the metal must also.

An appropriate analogy would be if a chef was going to create a dessert to be like a Reese's peanut butter cup. Once the chef stated his objection, the expectations of those who are to sample/taste the dessert are already formed before they sample.
If the chef chose to leave out peanut butter, then the dessert is not going to meet the expectations of those who sample or taste it. If the chef simply stated he would make a dessert for them and used chocolate, as the main ingredient, then most likely those who sample it will like it.

As chocolate and peanut butter are to Reese's, tonewood and copper alloy are to musical instruments. You remove one it negates the whole.

Most likely I'm over thinking it but you get where I am coming from.

Irish65,
I can understand why you thought that.I thought the natural and inert quality of the Duelund was the attraction for it's use.Quad man's reply just confirmed that line of thinking.The Duelund effect in my system has been stunning.

Charles1dad,

Like you I chose the Duelund Cast for the same reasons. I wrote my post before Quad man's post was posted. So I have my answer.

Mountain-high,

Out of the 11 threads you started 10 of them concern dc10audio. If you work for them, or know them, you are doing them a diservice.

Bhobba, these are huge caps. The size of Red Bull cans. Anyone else have experience with these Jensen caps?
