And I am relieved. 🙂
I don't think there is much doubt that I wear my heart on my sleeve when it comes to this... Joe, take a deep breath... again. lol
Thank you. And zero artificial brightness that I object to in so many speakers.

Hi all and @Joe Rasmussen in particulary,
I’m in the middle of buiding my ULD Elsinores, and have a question.
Because of the unavailability outside the UK of the Miflex capacitors, i am using Duelind for the tweeter, it is the tinned copperfoil version.
Would the sound benefit of a bypass cap on this section? Amd if so, can someone point me to the best value and type of bypass?

Those with far more experience than me may have better advice to offer, but I'd suggest starting with Cornell Dubilier 940C 0.01uF or 0.022 uf capacitors (the higher the voltage rating the better) to start. They're inexpensive and an excellent value. If you liked the effect you could always replace them with something more exotic.
Tony Gee loved them (https://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html) and his reviews might also provide insight into alternatives.

Scott

I was wondering -- are you unable to purchase directly from Miflex at their AudioMiflex site (e.g., https://audiomiflex.pl/en_US/c/Copper/23)? That's where I purchased mine, and their pricing was a good bit less than HiFiCollective.
Regards.

Please have a look at Audiomiflex.pl
This seems to be their shop:

So you can still buy them? The drop-down menu selecting country to ship to, has some very odd exceptions. The US is there, but England is missing and so is Norway and others too - definitely not Australia. Why? And do they have actual stock and the right 1.8uF value?
You mean Duelund, right. Not some similar Chinese knock-off brand with similar name? Just kidding. 😊
If this is the Duelund 1.8uF tinned copper cap that I heard and was fitted to a locally Sydney made Elsinores, then they will work very nicely. A little bit brighter tonally than Miflex and they had a slightly different charm about them. Very good indeed and some might even prefer it over the Miflex 1.8uF.
HiFiCollective usually has a pretty complete set of the Miflex caps for sale, albeit at a premium price. It’s possible that Miflex’s distributorship agreement with HiFiCollective prohibits Miflex from selling in the UK. Is there a Miflex distributor in Australia? It so happens that the North American distributors for Miflex don’t seem to carry a broad selection. As someone who has had some experience negotiating distributorship agreements (amongst others), this situation suggests manufacturer-to-end user sales prohibitions based on distributor stock requirements.
Or maybe not.
Or maybe not.
Struggling with the price of the Miflex Caps, I asked the Hifi Collective if they would match the sale that Parts Connexion was having on their Miflex caps, or if they had any coupons or sales going on (this was about a month ago) to which they responded... "No".
So with that I mention that Parts Connexion is sometimes a little flexible if you send them an email. So I would give that a shot. However, it won't be for the Miflex as I believe they are closing those out. It would be for Duelunds. Which isn't such a bad thing 🙂

Lol @Joe Rasmussen i’m typing on my ipad and saw my mistakes, but i can’ t find an edit option for my post. So yes it is indeed the original. The one you have tested.
Hificollective is the only one who has a little stock of the 1.8, all other distributors in Europe are also out of stock and with the Brexit it is a very expensive option for me

for L2 I started with a air core foil inductance and substituted later with Janzen Wachs Coil.
The effect was similar to changing to the Miflex.
Mine are ULD.

Did you hear back from them regarding the Duelands? I don't see that they stock the 1.8uf on their site.
I didn't send them an email. I had asked for a quote on a couple of Duelunds for another project a while back and they were accommodating. I would suspect that if they are not listed, they will have to be ordered by them from Duelund. I will go ahead and shoot them an Email. I will mention this thread too.

Very nice! I am excited to see what comes of it. I didn't get wax as supposedly they are supposed to favor a tonality that leans towards Jazz music. I think the Elsinore's already do Jazz and Orchestra wonderfully.
I keep hearing great things about the ULD! 🙂 They must be wonderful.
Parts Connexion got back. The caps would take about two months for them to receive.
It looks like the savings will be about $16 per cap vs hifi collective. This is for the JDM-Sn/Cu Tinned Copper Cap.
However, they can get a 100V version which Fredrick highly recommends. That one is $32 cheaper per cap than the 600V from hifi collective.
If people want the exact message, I can quote via PM. I will ask them if it is okay if I post the information here directly. What I like about them is that they kind of remind me of what meniscus audio was. They have good communication.

Basically I just use pink noise 1/6th Octave and microphone at the listening position. Below is an example of ULD Elsinores and twin SB-3000 subs nicely integrated. I do have a peak at 45Hz and 120Hz with a trough centered around 80Hz. These generally show up with other speakers as well. In this instance the subs are only really working below 30Hz.
With and without subs:
