Way back in 2017 when I wrote about the 0.01uF 600V Duelund tinned-copper foil wax/oil bypass caps (HERE) they were selling for an MSRP of $96 USD each, and the 0.01uF 600V Duelund pure silver foil wax/oil bypass caps were selling for an MSRP of $132 USD each.

You could pick up the 0.01uF Duelund tinned-copper foil wax/oil bypass caps for a discounted price at Parts ConneXion for $64.50 USD each, and the 0.01uF Duelund pure silver foil wax/oil bypass caps for $99.95 USD.
Yesterday, I got a message from Frederik at Duelund Coherent Audio that due to efficiencies gained from investing in a new in-house bypass cap winding machine (above) - formerly the bypass caps were wound for Duelund by Jensen - they are now able to offer both the 0.01uF 600V Duelund tinned-copper foil wax/oil bypass caps and the 0.01uF 600V Duelund pure silver foil wax/oil bypass caps for an MSRP of €43 each ($46.57 USD each), with an expected discounted online price to be around €38.50 each ($41.70 USD each).

That's a considerable savings that Duelund Coherent Audio has passed along to consumers with the new efficiencies gained from investing in their own in-house bypass capacitor winding machine!
Frederik told me that the first batches of the new bypass capacitors will ship out next week to dealers.
You should expect to see the updated pricing at Parts ConneXion and HiFi Collective in a week or so.
Frederik also told me that over the coming months, they aim to offer more items priced accordingly, as they better understand the efficiencies gained by their investment in new in-house production capabilities.
That's exciting news for fans of Duelund Coherent Audio capacitors, and I'll keep you updated as I hear more from Frederik on this topic!
Congratulations to Frederik on being able to invest in new in-house production equipment at Duelund Coherent Audio, and also kudos to Frederik for passing on the savings to customers - that's awesome!
Postscript: The new pricing for the Duelund bypass caps at Parts ConneXion in Canada is $41.91 USD for the "Duelund Capacitor 0.01uF 600Vdc Silver (Ag) Foil & Wax/Oil Precision BYPASS Capacitor", and $39.95 USD for the "Duelund Capacitor 0.01uF 600Vdc Tinned Copper (Cu) Foil & Wax/Oil Precision BYPASS Capacitor", which is even lower than had been expected - cool! The other major vendor for Duelund - HiFi Collective in the UK - have not yet updated their pricing, but I'll let you know when that happens.
Postscript 2: HiFi Collective in the UK has now updated their pricing (HERE) for "Duelund's Precision Bypass capacitors" to £31.50 for the tinned-copper version, and £35.00 for the pure silver version.
As always, thanks for stopping by, and may the tone be with you!
