Hello,
I¡¯m in the process of troubleshooting my LP-1.?
I have the owner instructions and schematic. Can one of you share a board layout showing the location of components for the LP-1?
?Thanks,
Andy

New Member Looking for DQ-10 Stands
Hello,
I¡¯m a new member here and have gained much from the site.?
I have a set of DQ-10s that are in need of a set of ST-10 stands or original 3-legs.?
Please drop me a line if you¡¯d be willing to part with a set.?
Thanks,
Andy

Re: Greetings! New Member and DQ-10 Owner
Yup. One purple for piezo . Not sure it makes sense to do anything with that circuit as I¡¯ve never detected any sound from them even running bink cd with freq clips of 16khz 18khz etc. I even replace them thinking they were bad! No change. I did recap that circuit but alas no change. The clarity caps and mills resistors are pricy. I think about 225-250 but they did tame the bright grating sound in the mid and hi frequency range. It¡¯s worth it if you want to keep them for yrs to come
Wow!? That's a lot of blue :)

Re: DQ-10 Original Grill Cloth
It was gone that afternoon, but Thank? You for the heads up. Love to find some blond. Got some fresh 10s need some love.

I have an extra set of clarity caps new for upgrading the xo and a printout of the direction to upgrade the entire dq10 speaker which is in the files.I used a Dayton audio 50+30 to equal the 80uf for woofer. Space on board is limited and most 80¡¯s are very big. This fits offset to side. Make an offer?

Re: Greetings! New Member and DQ-10 Owner
If you make a list with the asking price, I (or others on this distribution) might be interested in purchasing your extras as one lot. I¡¯ve been doing a lot of crossover work lately - I wouldn¡¯t mind having some parts inventory.?
BTW... ?very clean looking job on the crossover rebuild. It can be challenging to fit the larger capacitors into an existing crossover. On my -12s, I had to shoehorn in the Regnar caps. I got the caps to fit but was not pleased with the results - it¡¯s fully functional but looks cobbled together. ?I wish I had done what you did and redesign the board layout without changing the circuit logic.?

What are you looking to get for your parts package and which caps are leftover? ? Thanks again, Jeff ?

Greetings! New Member and DQ-10 Owner
Hi all.? New member.? First post.? Worked for a Dahlquist retailer in the 80s.? Owned a pair then.? Recently became the proud owner of well-used DQ-10s and looking to do a little refurb.? Have new hf pots coming from Regnar.? No other real issues.? Just cleaning them up.

Re: DQ-10 Original Grill Cloth
Not sure why I didn't think to just email him directly thru CL! Thanks for sharing Bill

Re: DQ-10 Original Grill Cloth
Bill - when you say "years ago" do you mean almost 35 years? I learned through some channel that the co. that manufactured that cloth went out of business shortly after DQ did (the real Dahlquist co. not all the rebirths since then)

DQ-10 Original Grill Cloth
FYI...
On the Portland CL, there is a guy posting for grill cloth.
I reached out to him as I was looking for material to recover my DQ-12s.
It turns out he has a batch of original DQ-10 grill cloth? he obtained years ago from the NW Dahlquist rep.? I passed on it, it wasn't what I needed for my 12s, but thought someone mihght be interested.
I've never met this guy before, but I have bought from him in the past. All my dealings have been positive.
Here is the CL link if anyone is interested.
Pic 9 shows the grill cloth.

Hi? all,
Always appreciate the wisdom and experience in this group.
I may have the chance to acquire a pair of DQM9s. Already am fortunate to have a pair of 9Cs. Has anyone ever done a side-by-side comparison, and is it worth the upgrade?
Also, does anyone know what the going price is for a pair of 9s with recently rebuilt woofer, so-so cosmetics/missing grills?
Thanks for your thoughts, and stay safe!

Lamp cord isn't suitable for pulling through holes in studs.? The insulation is much too soft and it will get damaged. ?

If you have a long cable run (+20 feet) I suggest the 12 guage OFC stranded copper cable.

The DQ-10s accept banana plugs... either single or double, such as:
<>
or
<>.
No modifications are necessary.
Speaker wire is, in my opinion, largely a matter of faith and personal
taste, so long as the conductors are large enough not to have
significant aggregate series resistance.? I am dubious when it comes to
many claims about speaker wire.? I know that some others feel
differently, and swear by the allegedly awesome audio qualities of
speaker cables made with exotic materials and exotic construction
techniques.? When it comes to such claims, color me highly skeptical.

I too am a cable skeptic. I'm a retired EE and I've got a pair of DQ-10 biamped with a pair of DQ-1W subs. Active Dahlquist LP-1 crossover. I'm running a pair of fully rebuilt Phase Linear 700B amps that have the White Oak driver boards. The only thing that's original in the amplifiers are the transformer, chassis, and meters. The amps have been measured at a little over 500 watts RMS per channel and the system sounds glorious.
I use a 14 gauge extension cord that's stranded copper. My run is about 20 feet on one channel, maybe 10 on the other. It sounds and works great.
Here is a paper written by Roger Russell, former chief engineer at MacIntosh laboratories. He goes into great detail about this subject, it's a must read for anyone serious about tone.
Hope this helps, enjoy your music!
