Duelund cast Pio Hybrid Copper/Silver or Rs series with Silver Bypass PIO

I have not, but I have used Vcaps before and like I said earlier they are just not natural and smooth enough for me.  I do not believe in bypassing caps in the signal path usually as it can lead to a nervous and phasey sort of sound. However, the combo I mention above is a special exception and works marvelously. Other combos are tricky and the results may or may not be good.  Crap shoot. I have done due dilligence on the Duelund silver foil bypass cap and Jupiter copper foil combo and all is great.  

pumpwheel... v-cap Cutf works well in a bypass for power supply.  if you want transient and dynamics i strongly recommend on the power supply section.  For signals, the v-cap is on the bright side, it can be tooo detail from my experience.  The duelund silver bypass is very nice.  

I am using the DuelundHybridcopper silver they are Great and seamless it’s like having a small  silver bypass it takes200 hours to settle in to 95% 

on my preamp I have a 1 uf Jupiter Copperfoil ,and to open thetop up a bit a .022 vh audio Cutf tefloncopper foil2.2%  of the 1 uf value after 3-400 hours sounds really good , theDuelund hybrids slightly better.

My massive crossovers with tinned copper CAST caps are now breaking in! Has anyone experienced the background noise floor change during the first 1000 hours?

 

 

For speaker crossovers, where does the original Western Electric 8 uf, 500VDC oil filled caps fit in with regards to the sound when used on an Altec crossover compared to these newer offerings? I have several of these sitting on a shelf, they are just so darn big and heavy in those steel cans. Sure look cool with that WE logo on them though.
