Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Volleyguy, Silver usually takes a little longer to break in than copper, so be patient with it for a while. By the way, how's your comparison between the Ampohm and Duelund VSF copper going? I switched back to the Duelunds in my preamp. Just more ...

I just installed the Hifi-tuning fuse on the power supply board. Already I hear I nice improvement with cleaner delineation of notes. Music just sounds more natural. Excellent for just a $40.00 investment. By the way, I noticed that Victor is sell... 
Home Theater Separates for B&W - Advice
Most of the dealers who carry B&W also carry McIntosh, Classe, and Rotel. See if one will loan you a set to try on your speakers in your home. I owned B&W CDM1NT monitors several years ago and for home theater, the Rotel was my favorite fo...

Stltrains, Believe it or not, these Hifi-tuning fuses get better with time. They have a mild break-in period, so give them a few days to acclimate into your system.

The best buy I've found on Hifi-tuning fuses is from Acoustic Sounds: http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/41414/HiFi-Tuning-Fuse_-_Large-System_Enhancements

Thanks, Stltrains. I believe that is the correct value for mine as well. 
Reference 3a Dulcet upgrades
Just one more tidbit to add. I have been experimenting with various speaker cables on my Dulcet, both single run with various jumpers and with biwired versions. I have come to my own personal conclusion that the Dulcet sounds so much better in the...

One more thing. I did replace the power line fuse with a Hifi-tuning fuse and it made a nice improvement. There is one more fuse on the power supply board, but I can't remember what the value is. I probably need to order one to replace that one as...

Markwattkiss, I communicated regularly with Pat(Rx8man) while he was getting his TP2.0n upgraded with the Claritycaps and new transformer in the power supply. I'm not sure if Joseph replaced the key resistors in the signal path with the new Vishay...

Has anyone tried EAT KT88's in their power amps
The best I've tried in my VAC monoblocks are the Shuguang Penta Labs KT88SC, solid plate version. I bought a matched quad from Dougstubes. These tubes have everything: soundstage, neutrality, dynamics, clarity, etc. http://dougstubes.com/6550kt8... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
I haven't tried the Duelund wire, but I did wire internally my speakers with a special pure copper wire designed by Marigo Labs. It has some type of silk or other natural covering and has nothing artificial in its composition. The wire has a very ...

Well, I had waited until the 140 hour mark for the Ampohm caps and ultimately, although I really liked the top end airiness, the overall sound of the Duelund is just so much more natural and alive sounding. Also, like Volleyguy stated, the bass of... 
Kudos to Acoustic Zen
That reminds me. I need to send my Krakatoa back for a new upgraded male plug. They told me they would only charge for the plug only. Labor and shipping free. Good folks.
