I use them, bang for the buck is through the roof. Got this from Parts Connexion: pcX has a made a massive buy of these resistors...we think so highly of them. All our most popular values will be stocked in great depth. As as result,spcX was able ...

Volleyguy,You should see the comment I made about the passive / active solutions in the context that many active filters in car stereo are DSP based, something I don't consider ideal.I've heard both passive and active systems featuring Duelund com...

Volleyguy,Found this under the news section on the Duelund website:They also use the CAST inductor, though he doesn't speak about it in isolation.http://www.speakerbuilder.dk/content/getPage.asp?id=36You may have to choose: English flag in the upp...

Volleyguy,I find the CAST clearly superior. I know that some who use the CAST now consider the VSFs defective in comparison. I don't know if I would go that far, but they are quite something. They do require at least 14 days of break in to sound t...

I e-mailed Duelund about the connection to Jensen and copy/pasted some of their info into my reply. Now it suddenly looks at if, they made the whole reply? Sorry for any confusion.

Duelund Coherent Audio to me show details 2:16 PM (19 hours ago) Reply Volleyguy I think the reason is that most air cores are made in the same way, quickly wound and done. However, the Duelunds are made in the same vein as their caps with a wet...

Halcro Yes, I use a Duelund 10.37 uF for example. I also value highly that you can get the exact value you need in one cap, inductor or resistor.

Rauliruegas, That may be so, but neither the Duelund VSFs in question or the Mundorfs are paper in oils, so I don't understand why that is brought up.

Volleyguy "Steen Duelund (I am impressed with dedication to the hobby a throwback to the past)" He was quite an enigmatic character on the Danish diy scene. You'll find some more info here: http://www.gryphon-audio.dk/files/duelund/duelund.htmlwww...

Volleyguy "I would like to hear some opinions on this but I think money on caps may be better money than on speaker wire, interconnects or anything I can think of???" Without a shadow of a doubt.

Volleyguy In my mind no chain is stronger than the weakest link. I believe the qualitive leap you get from using a good inductor with your lower range driver is equally important to a capacitor. And why shouldn't it be, an inductor is no more than...

Volleyguy, I believe so yes. Why not try their resistors instead if you are wary of the cost of the inductor, do you have a resistor in series with the tweeter? I've seen people describe the resistor as the best bang for the buck upgrade you can g...

Volleyguy, If you find the Duelund caps worthwhile, I'm sure you'll be just as enarmoured with the inductors. I've tried a lot of other brands and never want to go back. In the end of course, it's your money.

Volleyguy, I believe the no plastic may indeed be a key feature. It would certainly explain why they sound different (superior) to all the others I have tested which ofcourse use plastic. This is of course based on my own findings. Others may well...

My first post here, but found the topic very interesting so here goes: I've done extensive comparisons of quite a lot of different capacitors, and have found the Duelunds to be without equal. Presently I use them in my home system and my car (I co...
