New Jupiter Comet and VitaminQ Silver PIO Capacitors

Just saw this,

I have been meaning to post about Comet and vitamin Q silver PIO caps.

I replace them in my line stage coupling position (comet), and output (comet /vitaminQ paralleled.  Preamp is a very nice Jadis jp200 mc ..  This swap was not cheap as the amp uses .47 uf and 1 uf in the positions.

The results were  worth it though,.. these jupiter caps are the only ones I have ever tried that have this level of resolution , yet still retain a completely natural presentation.  They are more natural sounding to me than duelund ( which I like their copper cast).

Don’t be afraid to try a silver mica, I’ve tried a few and the best so far is the Charcroft silver micas and after a long burn in for a mica 200 plus there amazing especially compared for the cost I’d a Dueland silver bypass.

i currently have the Matsuzaki case type 0.0056 on order, the glass types are ok but so far the Charcroft for a fraction of a Dueland are amazing especially in your application and don’t get me wrong I love the Dueland silver bypass” I currently run 6 in diff. Places.

As far as Duelund goes, i prefer jupiter comet or vit Qsilver PIO, even given their cost as they sound more natural to me.  I do however like duelunds speaker crossover inductors, I replace a alphacore copper foil with a duelund recently in my first order series crossover for my big altec clone horns and ,....wow amazing sense of space , resolution ,  timing.. they are not THAT pricey either, littel bit more that twice the alpha cores.

The Duelunds speaker crossover inductors 1.5mH pair (for my Altec 604E n1500 crossover) will cost $750 WAX and $700 Cust. Not cheap. The Jantzen Wax Coil that I use now cost me just $150.

I use a Duelund silver bypass in the same crossover to bypass the 14uF capacitor. But I think Duelund silver has some little kind of brightness.

I like the Soviet silver mica SGM-3. They are really great.
