| A dedicated digital Cable or XLRinterconect? The digital cable, if it is made correctly, is 110 ohms. | |
| Dahlquist DQ-10 - did they use Advent woofers? As J. Peter Moncrieff stated: "No midrange driver, no midrange". | |
| Missing ground pin-- problem or not? No problem. A good hospital grade plug would be an improvement anyway and won't cost you very much. | |
| What is the difference in CD transports? There is a big difference in transports. I had a Theta Data Basic which I sold after I bought my Data Basic II which, indeed, has a wider soundstage and deeper bass. Then I got a Jade which I found to not sound as good as the Basic II, which is st... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-10 - did they use Advent woofers? I don't know who actually manufactured the woofer but yes, it is the same as the large Advent woofer. DQ-10s below serial number 400 used a 12" CTS woofer. BTW, kits to replace your foam surrounds are available on ebay and it's a relatively easy p... | |

| definition please Pace, Rythum And Timing. Means it sounds natural and relaxed, like music. | |
| Mix & Match Interconnects Like Jmcgrogab2, my entire system is wired with Tara Decades (balanced). Well, that was true until yesterday when my Air 1s arrived. They are now between the DAC and preamp and are currently breaking in. | |
| Tell me about your sweet spot. OK, now for my serious answer: My Acoustats, which beam like a flashlight, are pointed at my ears. I, too, use a laser to aim them. The addition of an Argent Room Lens has widened the sweet spot to the entire three cushion coach. (Until I recently... | |
| Tell me about your sweet spot. I'm not telling anyone about my sweet spot until I've been properly wined and dined. I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked. | |
| WHOA This isn't what I expected. Sean - Thanks for clearing up the "urban legend" of the Nak amp. I've never even seen, much less heard, one. From what people ask for them they didn't seem like a bargain, even if they were a "baby Threshold". Angiemima - I hope your "borrowed/bou... |
