Volleyguy,Please keep us posted with your progress regarding the inductors.The Duelund silver wire I am selling is left over from all the projects I was doing. When I bought it I purchased 50 meters. I have used around 35 meters of it and have don...

Volleyguy,I am not sure what gauge inductor you currently use but the Duelunds are 12 awg. So the DCR should be close to what you are using if it is a 14-12 awg inductor. I have not compared the WPIO inductors to the Cast. I have compared numerous...

Bob,If a .665mH inductor works best then I would get that value. You mentioned Alpha Core being able to manufacture that specific value. Duelund will also be able to. Even if your xovers are external you still are going to have mechanical vibratio...

Undertow,I have used the Jupiter HT and think they are a very good cap. They don't have the tonal balance or naturalness of the Duelunds. They are no doubt warmer. The Clarity MR and Jupiters pair well together. This would help prevent tilting the...

Rfog18,Because your inductors are in series with the tweeter I am assuming they are a small value. Under 1.0 mH perhaps.You may have already mentioned this but are your xovers internal or external?Look at the Cast this way. With the dollar losing ...

John,I understand more clearly now that you have explained where you are coming from. The Clarity MR is a well balance cap. My intent was not to pound my point across but to let you be aware of the pitfalls. I have dealt with people who said what ...

Tom,I've been meaning to get up with you. I have used the Cascade on inductors but in an inductor power supply for my Wadia. In this case I did not hear the before so as you I cannot comment. As you know I have used it and it does work well with c...

Volleyguy,You are a perfect example of what I was saying to John. You and I have talked and you were reluctant to put out more cash for parts but in the end look what you learned and look where your system is because of it. The important thing to ...

John,Ait gives good advice with sourcing out the vacuum pump for the compound.

Rfogel8,The Mundorf Silver/Oil caps and Goertz 12AWG copper foil inductors are a very good combination. Unfortunately for you to take a step forward in sonics you will have to spend more. The Cast Duelund cap you purchased will do it. You will kno...

John,The potting compound I was referring to was the 3M DP270. So yes you mentioned the product that I have used. As I am sure you saw it is a relatively small tube so it will take a few to do the job.I am sure Ait will be able to provide you a co...

Ait,You and I think alike in that regard but I don't think Reynolds853 wants to purchase 16 gallons of potting compound.

Correction of my last post. It should say" While your at it" not "While your add it".

Ait,I was going to mention that also but the 3m product to use costs around 15.00-20.00 per tube. From my experience you would need around (5) tubes to do a 14 awg 1.2mH inductor properly. While your add it cut channels for the inductor wire to tr...

John,That being your experience with the inductors I would suggest getting the inductors first. Leave the rest of the Xover as is just change out the inductors.Let it settle in then evaluate them if they bring any improvement. If you like what the...
