Description

I have been an audiophile for about 20 years. My system is the result of years of searching and listening. It is a mix of DIY and commersial pieces. The DIY stuff is mainly built/constructed by friends and craftsmen with the right skills, tools and knowledge. My own contribution is limited to assembly of pieces and soldering the speaker crossovers.

The crossovers will be upgraded with Duelund CAST PIO-cu and VSF-cu capacitors and Duelund CAST inductors. I am also working on a new rack that will allow me to use both my turntables.

Gut_man,

Have you had a chance to compare the Cast inductors against your North Creek? I had 8awg North Creek inductors ( very good) and replaced them with 8 awg Cast.

I will leave out my opinion until you have conducted your own listening test.

The thread you posted your choice to go with Duelund, you mentioned using Mundorf on the mids. I would also consider using the Jupiter HT or Jupiter VT. For the mids I think you will like this cap.
