Not really published on the market (at least not well spotted around big online webstore), but I manage to get a pair of it.

This is the CAST version of the Duelund Resistor. Well, for the Capacitor, the CAST definitely better (less ringing, so quiet, dynamic). How about this Resistor? Not sure though, plan to test it somewhere. Picture below is the 5W version.

The comparison between the old Duelund Resistor (1oW, brown enclosure) and the new CAST one (5W, black enclosure). Also I put a pair of Auricap 6uF/200V behind as size comparison. This is definitely a “long” Resistor.

The price? Expect to pay at least double to upgrade from the standard to CAST one.

    I’m glad they’re smaller, the standard line can be cumbersome. I should be ordering two pairs soon.

    thx.

    Cool. I got myself a pair of these and plan to install them to replace regular duelund resistors in the HF section of my x-over. The colour is interesting, but since the resistors are filled with a dark coloured substance (presume to help damping) I suppose this bleeds into the regular paper tube causing the dark colour. I look forward to your impressions Jimmy.

    Wish to hear your comparison, never the sound of duelend resistor….really wondering how much its differences from RMG as the price is huge different.

    Hi,
    RMG is different and can’t be compared with Duelund. Basically Duelund is for speaker, so very limited in terms of the resistance value (maybe around 500 Ohm max). While in circuit, 500 Ohm is practically not usable. On the other side, Riken RMG is more popular for circuit application, not speaker. The value is available up to several KOhm.

    So it’s gonna be difficult to do the comparison.

    Thanks.

    RMG RIKEN got low ohm at 2w but you need to parrallel them to get higher W, i’m using them in speaker crossover.

    Hi,
    Usually I prefer Mills for XO. Some other good candidates are Sfernice, Kiwame, and Duelund.

    Thanks.

    Had tried kiwame, mundorf and sfernice but i like RMG Riken the most so far.

    Well, it’s your call then :) No problem. Enjoy the music!
    Thanks.

    halo ko jimmy…
    mao tanya, resistor duelund nya brapaan yah harganya?? jauh lebih bagus yah daripada caddock??
    saya sebenernya lagi cari resistor caddock / vishay dale 10watt ukuran 1ohm & 3,9ohm..untuk pasif XO di car audio..
    saya suda cari ke bbrp org home audio kenalan ko malion tp pada kosong barangnya…..
    moga2 ko jimmy mau membantu saya…
    tolong emailin saya harga2nya yah ko..

    Hi,
    Duelund coba kamu tanya di forum modifikasi. Setau saya ada agennya (tapi saya lupa nama yang jual karena sudah lama ga online ke sana).

    Saya sendiri ada stok beberapa value (rasanya 1R dan 3R9 sih ada), tapi biasanya buat dipakai sendiri saja sih (ya kecuali kalo ada kenalan yang butuh banget dan saya kebetulan gak pake, kadang saya share).

    Thank you.
