Experience of Mundorf S/O or S/G/O in Merlins VSM

c, the more continuous you make the speaker sound the more extended the extreme bass and treble seem to be.
let the solder joints break in for some time until you have a good idea of what you have gained.
is the sound more present in the mids or relaxed?

i responded to this yesterday but for some reason it did not get posted.
depending on the version of the vsm you have (which is?), it may not be good to mix the capacitors. the later vsms use cryoed hovlands and the use of a non cryoed cap in the hf may make the speaker sound incoherent and lacking continuity.
you will certainly make the vsm sound different but not necessarily better.
changing the caps in the rc network or super bam may proove to be a better way to go because these caps affect the entire bandwidth.
i am not advocating the changing of the caps but we are using the duelunds in the master bam and master rcs with to great effect.
thank you,

clabe, oh yes i remeber you now.
happy new year!
what is it about the upper mids and lower treble that is bothering you?
and did you have this issue before you changed all the caps?
i want to hear what you say before i say anything more.
but i know this cap and its sound.
best regards,
bobby at merlin

clabe, the vsm mxs have cryoed networks so the discontinuity will be there if you use a cryoed and non cryoed cap in the same speaker.
did this bright sound happen before you changed the caps?
do you find the upper mids a little pinched? pushed or recessed?
thank you.
