| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I am trying to catch up on Jeff's Place blog. I really enjoy his excellent blog! I am glad to hear he compares the mods he does with an original. When I started I kept the best sounding amp I had original, always having a reference for a stock am... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Update on one of the vintage amps.In the past I had posted of two failed Duelund capacitors leaking and a few Jupiter caps very fragile leads breaking. Now in one of the amps in for service one of the Jensen capacitors has gone bad and was arching... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Grannyring can you describe the difference from WE16 and WE10? | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Hours are piling on and the gap is closing with the Duelund 2.0.WE is an interesting product. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price MitchNot to worry on what you hear.I have not heard Belden IC.I am trying the WE wire in two systems. Oddly to me it sounds as you describe the Belden IC's?In my main system all Duelund parts and Duelund wire the WE is clear, ragged and my guess i... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Thanks MitchThat is kind of what I expected.When you bulked up on amount of strands did you notice a difference? Particularly bass? | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I see the WE wire is available right up to 10ga.Has anyone tried compared the various WE ga's? It all appears the same just more strands. Running the 16ga in two separate systems. (for testing) | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Funny the long running capacitor thread was started when I heard vintage paper Aluminum foil and Mylar caps. I had heard tube amps but not like that before!I was just shocked at how "real" the sound was real people it was not a stereo.One amp was ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price When I first heard the WE 16ga wire my comment was oh vintage vishay ERO Fol II Aluminum foil and Mylar caps.Those were the vintage caps in my amps.They were hard to replace in all ways. VERY real midrange. I suspected Yazaki-san likes that kind o... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I did read the insulation is proprietary.As is the coating on the wire. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Rob There is no problem from me. I am not a mega $ cable guy my comparisons are against Linn k20 speaker wire and Duelund Silver 2.0 and the WE 16ga.http://www.linn.co.uk/all-products/accessories/k20-loudspeaker-cableYou have brought what could be... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price In listening to Kind of Blue the first thing I noticed with the WE was the increased amount of tape hiss.This is always a tell tale sign of resonance. When the Jupiter Copper Foil caps when in my phono section I was shocked at the noise reduction,... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Saletric mentions the WE wire as "bright and thin".My first impression of the WE wire was vintage Vishay ERO FOL capacitors.I had mentioned in the Cap thread that vintage Vishay had a incredible midrange. (one could say better than Duelund)The pro... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price RobYou have likely heard more live music than most.I had mentioned on the other thread that live music does not sound separated to me. That is a HiFi term.Not that this is bad but I think HiFi created a sound on it's own. (little to do with real s... | |
