| Dahlquist DQ12 replacement woofers? They had the same frame as the large Advent, but- rather than the smallish square magnet, a larger round one. Different voice coil and Thiele/Small parameters. | |
| Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners I've been using an Audio Magic Stealth XXX for the past 6 years and lovin' it. I understand the newer version is even better. I'm running my 113WPC Cary tubed monoblocks and Hafler TransNova 9505(I bi-amp) through the "power amp" designated sectio... | |
| Dahlquist DQ12 replacement woofers? You might contact the seller of these DQ-12s on eBay and see if he kept the original drivers when he changed them for Radio Cracks(bonehead). (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dahlquist-DQ-12-speakers-great-sounding-speakers_W0QQitemZ200243798038QQihZ010QQcate... | |
| Magnepan MG20 tweaks ? Mr L- You have e-mail! | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 Mr S- The tubes manufactured for the German telecommunications industry had to conform to certain performance specs. Kind of a parallel of our Mil Spec Standards(once upon a time). The CCa was a specially selected 10K hr, low-noise/well balanced t... | |
| Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL Vett- Look at this data sheet for the old Sylvania 6SN7GTA (http://home.comcast.net/~tubes/Syl55/Get_Page.html?175). It's plate voltage is also 450V. The tube you mention is a 6SN7GTA/B- same designation with a "b" added. That's what the different... | |
| Magnepan MG20 tweaks ? You will find everything necessary for passive upgrades here: (http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) Michael will also match that parts to 1% tolerance for you. If you were to bi-amp the panels: I'd recommend a slightly modded Dahlquist DQ-LP1 as... | |
| Attn: Speaker DIY expert Whatever you need can be found here:(http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) And Michael will also match whatever you order within 1% tolerance. I've dealt with him for years and have yet to be disappointed. Normally I use Vishay Bulk Foil resistor... | |
| Kimber 8TC or NBS King/Serpent speaker cables The Kimber 8TC has been a very popular cable for some time now. That's because they are a very transparent cable that works well with a wide variety of systems. It won't add or subtract anything from your system or music. Lots of folks look for ca... | |
| Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL I should have mentioned: Don't let this experience dissuade you from pursuing NOS replacements for your unit. Their sonic benefits over what's being manufactured today will make your efforts well worth it. | |
| Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL As long as everything is still in balance between your channels, the bad tube didn't take anything with it. New production tubes go bad just as often as NOS tubes, and some defects are hard to find until the tube has full operational voltage appli... | |
| Cary SLP 03 Owners Tube Rolling Ideas Since your tastes(like mine) are toward the more open, transparent and accurate: I'll suggest the Siemens or Telefunken ECC802S as the ultimate for your application. If the cost of those is too salty: The Siemens CV491/ECC82 isn't a slouch either.... | |
| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? Read the section of this article that deals with wire and resonances: (http://www.soundstage.com/maxdb/maxdb011999.htm) To the lithocephalic: Don't bother! | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 I wonder why no one has mentioned the Siemens E188CC/7308 as an alternative. The high end is just slightly relaxed(ala the PW), but the tube still retains the liquid/3D midrange of the CCa. A slightly more controlled bottom(but no loss of extensio... | |
| What to do with old Sterophile/Absolute Sound Mags They sell really well on eBay. List them a year at a time. |
