Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
What I called "wood" sound others call flesh, emotion, etc. I get that part. I also find it hard to evaluate some opinions since the system is not listed. I can understand some of the comments on how each cable sounds but with regards to bass, tha... 
Where do the tubes go?
Most of the tube units that come in for repair from my experience have failed because of poor design. Sometimes not enough room inside, sometimes poor circuit board thickness, and poor overall design to handle what a component should be able to de... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Fplanner2000, I think there was an initial HF interconnect and I think there have been changes to that design that took the cable from not only improving clarity and speed but to adding more of what I call the wood of instruments sound. SO I would... 
5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes
Wig, letting it burn in. As for the NOS Tung-Sol 6SN7 found or oval plate tubes, they were the most musical 6SN7 tubes I tried. Expensive though. They have a more delicate sound, highs have more air (more floating of images), mids are some of the ... 
5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes
OK tried the GL tube today. Not bad for $35. Pretty good resolution, soundstage, etc. Mids are very nice but I would not say tube sounding but more relaxed softer sounding.Thanks for the suggestions guys.Happy Listening. 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Fplanner2000, How has the HF chagned since they were first introduced? 
Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire?
I agree with Guma15 with the AT cable. I could not find a cable that dug as deep into the music and keep a natural sound with emotion. I tried a few silver cables but I did not find them bright, what I found is that the sound was smoothed over and... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
In reading about these two cable manufacturers, some of the comments were interesting. The HF cable seems to offer more clarity but seems to lack in comparison the emotion. I think I understand this description but I want to clarify by asking does... 
Can better parts.....
Yes better/different parts will change the sound. But parts swapping is not the only answer. Adding a filter choke to lower ac noise or making changes that use a more direct route can have offer better sonic improvements versus just part swapping.... 
Dahlquist DQ10 Woofer Repair?
Bbro is correct. Simply do this:I agree with the exception of Bill L. at MillerSound in Lansdale, Pa. He is considered probably the best speaker guy in the country on all speakers and was formerly the authorized Dahlquist service expert.Happy List... 
5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes
Wig have you tried the Tung-Sol 6SN7 tubes (old NOS) tubes?I just purchased the GL 5AR4 and will try it tomorrow in my preamp to see what happens. 
NJ Audio Weekend - who would come?
I am familiar with the New Jersey/New York audio clubs. There are other options besides renting a hotel but my main point was who would be interested in doing something like this. If there was enough interest, I would do the leg work to see what I... 
NJ Audio Weekend - who would come?
Don, maybe. I think I could find something if I really wanted to. I know of a few that would even consider hosting an event at their homes. Where are you located?Peter 
What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker...
The speaker should be able to reproduce all frequencies top to bottom and IMO have a flat response. It should convey what it being sent to it and that is all I look for in a speaker. My components should be sending the flow of music as I prefer th...
