Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ?

Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners
Hi bdp24,I have just received an email from a First Watt dealer. He said that the B-4 is a two-way crossover. If you want to have three-way active crossover system, you will need two B-4’s and connect them in a cascading fashion. A “6 dB boo...

SME 3009/II screening/can liner
I did a search and noticed that mu-metal shielding foil costs around $3.79 per inch depending of its thickness. That would not be a problem for but how do I choose thickness and how do I apply it around the connections? Example, MuMETAL® Foil .002...

Thorens TD147: raising tonearm

Thorens TD147: raising tonearm
