| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Been busy with work lately. I want to retest the CAST vs. VSF (tweeter caps in speakers) on amp with all the same caps. Trying to figure out where to go from here but am very happy even right here.There shouldn't be any comparison, there wasn't he... | |
| McIntosh C27/C29 vs C26/C28 & MC2125 vs MC 2105 Maybe since the 2105 has more of a historical value than the 2125? I found the 2125 to sound much better than the 2105 IMO. | |

Between adding GIK Monster traps and 6 244's, thing improved, but I still had one narrow but deep null at 60hz. Speaker repositioning was the only thing that fixed it. I pulled the speakers a little furt... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ait, IIRC, Jensen copper foil paper tube style caps are only available to 1uf, so you'll have to pick up either an aluminum, copper or silver VSF for your midrange. I went with an 6.8uf CAST on my tweeter and a 60uf aluminum VSF on the mid and ha... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil As long as the laminate core is used below a certain frequency, the distortion may not be audible. As for why they may sound different, different purities, dielectrics, etc... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Have you measured the two different inductor's DCR? How do they compare? Did you level match your mids after swapping the components? | |
