Re: DQ-10 phase issue found and corrected
I agree and have heard about that 180 degree swap before. To be clear I totally believe you and agree. This is the way Jon intended the speaker to be. Charlie Conger

Re: DQ-10 phase issue found and corrected
Hi Charlie, First, using the left speaker as a guide, I verified the wiring according to the crossover schematic. Then I carefully compared everything to the right speaker. I could see how the
Re: DQ-10 phase issue found and corrected
When you say the right side tweeter and super tweeter were out of phase, ?what were you using as a reference -the left side? Or a schematic? The behavior you have observed, after reversing,
DQ-10 phase issue found and corrected
I bought a pair of DQ-10s at a local thrift shop about a year ago, and had been thoroughly enjoying them for at least a month when I discovered that one of them had a phase issue. Here's what

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
I’ve had my DQ10’s since new, in 1980, can’t believe it’s been almost 44 years (will be in January). In that time, many sources, including Schiit Gungnir and Yggdrasil DACs. Given the

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
Your usage model may not justify a CD ripper. I have around 5000 albums on either vinyl, R2R or CD, and still buy used CDs of titles that are of interest. Given the cost of a used 2TB Zen Mini,

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
Dealing with a mass of CD's just seems unnecessary these days. Don't really have a convenient place to store them and I find I don;t listen to music as much if I have to plow through rows of

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
That Zeni looks nice. One thing though, I don't buy CD's anymore, so once you've ripped your collection as a library, the CD player kind of becomes no-value anymore right?

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
You might want to look at an Zen Mini music server. It comes with a CD ripper and DAC built in. They are relatively small and can be had for the range of $$$’s you are talking about. Sent:

Basically Apple's version of the MP3, AAC files, which are still lossy files... maybe slightly better than MP3's...? I always ripped my CDs (300ish?) to iTunes as I had never used a good system to

Re: Has anyone used one of these to measure speaker performance/range?
That video is good overview of integrating subs into a system. Despite having done this since the 70's I personally am not able to do this properly by ear, you *have to measure*. My experience with

Re: Has anyone used one of these to measure speaker performance/range?
Yes, not something you do often. Here’s a link that should give you an idea about the process. https://youtu.be/GndhzcKZq-g?si=erV7MFvO8Q26DJG2

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
hey Russ - I also like to find bargain gear that helps up my sound! I have two Hafler DH500's and a first generation Adcom 555 amp (Nelson Pass design I believe) so I have the power-part covered. I

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
Oppo is definitely overkill if you don’t have DSF files and/or want to stream video. The 205 was a once in a generation product that will never be made again. At $1300 new, it was a huge bargain.

Currently using a PC USB interface to Sabaj A20d 2023 (AK4191 DAC) and a Mini DSP (analog In/Out) with REW.? A believe REW accomplishes the same thing as DIRAC, but REW is a bit more of a manual?

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
The Oppo seems like a bit of overkill. I don't stream video or have any Blu-ray stuff. Esp at $2500. A NAS device may be a good idea if that frees up my laptop from having to store the music files.

Re: Anyone using a DAC? Which ones? Diminishing returns on vintage speakers?
Looks intriguing!! How does your music library get accessed? Do your copy your files to it and it runs independently or does it still need to be connected to your laptop (where my music is)?
