Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade?


Duelund CAST silver Capicitor upgrade 50K??
I've ordered some speakers and asked about upgrading to Deulund's silver foil CAST capacitor and inductor a listed option on my speaker. dc10audio got back to me with 50K $50,000.00 dollars extra over the copper that's already included in my speaker!!

How the hell is that even possible?? And if I could and I can't afford the extra would it be worth it? Am I going to see Jesus with the silver or what?

Any of you heard the Vapor Audio Cirrus or Breeze?, posted on July 30, 2012 at 05:23:12

He's a meteorologist from Missouri that became an "expert" loudspeaker builder with a DIY website education... What more do you need to know?

The bit about the amplifier he "borrowed" that seems to have "vaporized" is truly amusing though...

I am going to spend some time researching a few other posters here on audiogon and if most here are just shills for vendors or vendors I'll get this d---thing shut down!
Berkely- If you scroll around, you will find that most of us who hang out here on a long term basis are pretty good at sniffing out the shills. Although new ones do seem to pop up pretty regularly, when the BS alarm goes off, someone usually is quick to post about it.

Regarding the premium for the silver Duelands, I doubt that Dueland has any control over what the speaker manufacturer charges. It sucks, but they can charge whatever they want. In some ways no sillier and perhaps even more "value-priced" than the teleportation tweak.
Cost is an object for some of us here. I ordered a pair of Salk Soundscape 8's and wanted a capacitor upgrade. Initially from all that I've read here and elsewhere I asked Jim Salk to cost out the Duelund caps in the tweeter position only, and nearly had a heart attack! They may sound better than Mundorf Silver-in-oil caps, but at $765.00, how much better? I'm going with the Mundorfs.
After posting, I realized it could sound confusing. The $765.00 was for the Mundorfs. The Duelunds were way more, into the thousands of dollars!
