Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
olleyguy, Yes precisely, if you read the Tempo Electric review he states the Duelund VSF is 3 times better than the Mundorf. (Threefold improvement) Which I agree with. Personally, I’m done with plastic, and I truly suspect the reason why we do pl...

Volleyguy,I would definitely rate them a lot higher also. In general I don’t understand either why the Mundorfs are anywhere near the Duelund VSF let alone the CAST. To my ears, the Duelund are head and shoulders above the others.

Humblehomemadehifi tested the CAST:http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.htmlSound: The CAST capacitor has all the same characteristics as the VSF but with added top-end clarity and together with that, more spatiality. They are (like the VSF) supe...

Volleyguy,I don’t know, I find the Duelund CASTs to be so good, I don’t see the need myself.If you insist, I would bypass a CAST with a small VSF.Or ask Duelund if they would do a CAST with a VSF dielectricum. Perhaps, that is your meal ticket… :)

Volleyguy,Yes, aren’t the CAST just fantastic? I was shocked myself…I consider them the best upgrade I have ever done.Happy listening.

Volleyguy,Exactly, the CAST has the lowest noise floor by far. At least compared to any cap I know.When I originally thought about the CAST instead of the VSFs I was using, I asked the Duelund guys who also remarked that they found the noise floor...

Atmasphere,Thanks for the write up. Just for the record the Mundorfs are not paper in oil unless I read their homepage incorrectly.

Volleyguy,I must say, I experienced a huge leap in quality on solid state when going to Duelund. You may be right that it’s even better with tubes…Found this:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&1216741392&openflup&43&4#43...

Volleyguy,Running 2 way right now, so should have read woofer/mid.Did anyone see this audiogon review of a Duelund upgrade of a Dunlavy?http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rspkr&1164387495His findings seem to mimick those in this thread.

Volleyguy,I agree completely that plastic should be avoided, nigh on impossible as it may be…Paper/metalfoil caps to me also seems to be a way better bet than any metalized capacitor. It seems to me that the only reason why foil caps are not predo...

Volleyguy,Congrats on those CASTs, we should start a club... ;)Let the burn in take its time they'll only get better from now on.I agree with you that the upgrade you get by targeting the cross over section is stupendous, we seem to agree on Duelu...

Undertow & Volleyguy, I asked Duelund for comments regarding your last posts on the technical differences between the CAST and VSF caps, this is the reply I got (my translation): "While it is true, there is a marked difference between the CAST...
