The only thing was the Jensen was much lighter and maybe drier?   The failed Duelund VSF was 10+ years old and had a lot of hours on it in a tight space. The Jensen Paper Copper made me much more upset as they did not have tons of hours and were...

I was promising an update on the Duelund Tinned Copper. Just before Christmas my wife's mother passed away and then my father just after so my brain was distracted. Then a pop developed in the 500c when turning on. So I put the EL84 back in and ...

That is great to hear SNS! Was it the wax paper inductors? If it was similar to the wax paper Duelund's I have. I always have wished I got CAST inductors as I "suspect" a huge improvement in noise reduction and dynamics and the WPIO was already ...

Hello SNS   In this long thread you would find out I am running in my Lascala's Duelund CAST and VSF in the tweeter and Duelund VSF in the midrange with the not much talked about but should be Duelund inductors in the woofer.   It was the indu...

What would it mean to me if I read this thread and owned Jensen Copper paper tube? Well if I had one fail I would likely pull them all. It could be a bad batch? Or maybe they are all bad in time?

roxy54   Did they say why?    I did not get any "help" with the Jensen either but some were over 10+ years old and Jensen is out of business. How long should they last? Then what? Fix cap? Pay for damage to amp? Well the 1965 ones in the amp ...

Hi Charles   It is nice to talk to you after all this time!  Glad to hear your Duelund CAST have worked out long term! My CAST in the speakers or my RS or VSF have never been a problem.  Only in the amplifier itself which is of course much hig...

Grannyring you like those Duelund Silver bypass?My tweeter in my speakers uses (2) 2uf. (can use 2.2uf) and I have replaced one speaker in bedroom system and trying to figure out what to do? That Duelund bypass is that good?I might have to do a co...

In my opinion Audioman there is absolute better as you mentioned, foil vs. plastic then in fine tuning it can be synergy of every part in the system which can be what works best in synergy.Jupiter does not make 2.2uf Copper Foil 100v cap that I us...

Hello AudiomanNo doubt on foil caps sounding better!Yes the Jupiter is cheaper at low uf values but at .47uf about the same and at 1uf actually costs more.Compared to Duelund RS that is which I feel is the best comparison. I have used both and lea...

Replaced electrolytic's in CD transport. Did not wreck it but did not fix it either so no comment on sound difference.

Full set of Gold Lion 12ax7's wanted to retest them against the vintage.Notice more bass vs. RCA. Initial tone was not as good though in first few minutes.I have sung the praises of the Gold Lions like many others but they were worn out in 3 years...
