Greetings from a new member!

 

Hi all. While I'm brand new to this forum I've owned my DQ-10s for around 40+ years. My current set up is with the DQ-10s, a pair of DQ-1Ws and a DQ-LP1 powered by Carver amps at 500 watts a side. The combination of clarity, definition, sound stage and pulse altering bass is so fun. BTW, if you get a chance listen to Ratchets by Hedegaard as a speaker test. Breathtaking.
I've been using a variety of source mediums from vinyl to CDs and now through high end streaming which is surprisingly getting decent.
Ok, enough about that. I've decided to do another tune up of the system. About 15 years ago I made new crossovers and have also replaced the woofers and tweeters. I'm not thinking of doing another refresh by having the LP1 tuned up and as well getting fresh crossovers and sending them to Regnar for the work. They don't have any crossovers so I'd have to find a set of stock ones to send them. So a couple of questions...
Does anyone know of where I could get two original DQ-10 crossovers?
Has anyone had work done by Regnar and were you happy with the service/results/cost?
?
Thanks so much.

I have an extras original yellow cap xo in storage. As I recall I paid 250$ for them. For a while I collected woofer, mids, tweeters in panels and separates. I’ve yet to replace any drivers in my two sets of dq 10’s in 25 yrs. I’m using Mac 500wpc amps so they get clean sound.?

Years ago when Carver came out with 300 wpc amps at low prices I inquired from Soul Marantz and Rudy Bozak about them . Simply stated empty calories! Carver yield stated wpc at 1 kHz for less then a second . They went and got one from back room and hooked it up.? Showed me what happened at 500 hz, 5000hz, 10,000 hz, 20,000hz. On a scope and distortion meters. I walked out with them for lunch astonished. I learned a lot that afternoon about how amps are rated. Much of the stats are smoked snake oil. Many amps do not provide the specs they state but for a very short time and limited Freqs.?

Regnar is a one man shop working limited hours . The work is excellent but you may wait 6 months with limited if any communication from him

Hi &?

Yes, I’m someone that had Joe (I believe his name is) at Regnar rebuild my DQ10’s about 20 years ago; he did an excellent job for a fair price. I’ve since tweaked my pair a few times. However, I’ve tried to contact him, in the past few years and have not been able to get through. I believe someone said he is ill and no longer doing the work; but, I don’t know this for certain. What I do know is that he hasn’t been responding.?

Good luck!?

John?

Thanks for the response although I vehemently disagree with the views on Carver amps. My experience and the real world testing indicates otherwise but I have no interest in debating this. I'm very happy with them.
I did exchange emails with Regnar today so I think they are working but in an increasingly diminished capacity which makes sense given the natural decline in people using Dahlquists.
Cheers.
 

Yes I have mine redone at at Regnar and am very happy with it
 

Back to his request for a set of original xo’s . I have a set removed from speakers. Yellow caps.

Having Regnar redo your crossovers would be a lateral move at best. You already have Solens (Regnar uses rebadged Solen caps) and non-inductive resistor upgrades in your present xovers.
If you really want to upgrade, I would recommend using Clarity, Sonicap, Mundorf or some other high end brand of cap. Of course, this may be cost prohibitive for your needs.?
BTW, Regnar is hard to correspond with and quite expensive for what you get.

Regarding the LP1 I believe Frank Van Alstine has performed upgrades to this unit. You may want to give him a call. Frank has been in the business for many years and manufactures some fine gear.?

I use the clarity blue caps and change from 5.6 to 6.0 for the mid range and after about 40 hours of break and it was a big improvement where the mid highs weren’t quite as harsh I also changed to resistors and I’m sure you know in the files there are parts list And two different parts list and complete instructions for phase 12 and three of a restoration person. The only thing I’ve done is change crossover caps, and resistors. The other guy who was working on the LP one no longer is doing it, but he sent me a bunch of diagram and schematics of , what he used to do I’d have to dig them out. The problem was when you modify the LP one. The power supply isn’t strong enough to change the op amp without doing a lot of work the biggest defect the LP one is the RCA gets loose or comes loose and you can’t get a good connection , if somebody’s interested, I’ll try to dig out the schematics he sent me?

I heard Regnar is backlogged and not accepting speakers right now. Maybe the guy has a health issue.
