in Speakers
Not that Im not happy with them, I am very happy. I just know that when I rebuilt my last speaker crossovers I heard big improvement. I have a friend that owes me a favor and i can get these at a decent price. I am going to use these and mills.

    They are certainly one of the top tier caps available today, although I think they would be wasted on your speakers.

    There are other very good choices that make more sense.

    Take a look at this site for examples, http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html

    I could get all the caps for $600 with the favor called in.

    It would be like putting a V12 into a Pinto, but your speakers and your money.

    A company I worked for back then bought a few of those brand new. Only took about a week or so before they were in the shop.

    Duelund CAST

    Technical specifications (according to manufacturer): "The Duelund CAST Capacitor is a no holds barred flagship capacitor. The construction builds on the foundation of the Virtual Stack Foil design but does so with the addition of a proprietary WPIO dielectricum which necessitates several days of impregnation under very high pressure. This creates a form with incredible damping properties giving a mechanical stability hitherto unheard of. On top of this casting process, a ring of hard pressed paper strengthens the damping properties of the design helping music flow effortlessly. The Duelund CAST capacitor is available for speaker use and as the CAST 630v for DC-applications".

    Sound: The CAST capacitor has all the same characteristics as the VSF but with added top-end clarity and together with that, more spatiality. They are (like the VSF) super natural, smooth, clear and open. The tonal balance is extremely neutral, especially audible with good recordings of acoustic instruments and the human voice, so mainly with classical music. Like the VSF the separation of the individual instruments is very good and in an orchestra, the string section is a group of individuals rather than just a group. Soprano's have clarity without becoming hard to the ear, wind instruments (especailly the copper section) have that nice "metal" edge without becoming rough. Where in the past you had to choose between a Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil (very good depth, imaging and top-end detail) or a Duelund VSF (extremely neutral presentation) you can now have the best of both worlds in the form of the Duelund CAST-Cu. I did find they needed quite a while to fully come to bloom, so give them a chance to burn-in.

    Verdict: 14
