Dahlquist DQ10
Here’s hoping they serve you and your music well! I do recall making a couple DQ-10 owners/customers very happy, selling them Hafler DH-500s, to go with. A very dependable and stable amp, still easy to find on the used market, with lots of availab... 
Dahlquist DQ10
In the majority of cases, crossover failures involve the capacitors and generally electrolytic caps. I used to mod Dahlquist’s DQ-10s (mirror image/swap Piezos for ribbons/etc) in my shoppe(talking 1980’s here). I never have seen a stock DQ-10, wi... 
What's happened to Taters ?
Still missing him?   https://www.amazon.com/slp/mr-potato-head-parts/4hx6d5ycog2e7bh   He still needs some assembly.  Or- would that be corrective surgery? 
WD 40 to remove scratches on vinyl !
@wcfeil-  My first good laugh today!  THANX(I needed that, after the horrific thought of applying WD-40, to a vinyl)!

DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
"Usually good engineers would have a technical hypothesis that can be measured.If we are talking about sound engineers (not EEs or whatever) simply selecting new cables because "they sounded better to us" then that’s just the same anecdotal eviden... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
@geoffkait - Since you posted about, "pro audio" immediately after my post, regarding cables and studio use, I gathered that was to what you were referring. I couldn’t agree more, regarding compression, BUT- as far as, "all the old dudes": the fir... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
"But that is reality, audiophiling is a lot like wine tasting, the more you know you spent the better the wine tastes. So that means if you want your system to sound better, upgrade your cables and it will... I’m saying that upgrading your cables ... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
"Our ears and brain have very short term audio memory." ?? Some people must have one helluva time, recognizing who’s called them on the telephone then(sorry for your inability). A good man understands their own limitations. A wise man understands:... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
One has to assume, some pros have better aural acuity than others. That probably has even more to do with the quality of their productions, than the cables they use. But, no doubt, still has something to do with the cables they choose. Most of my ... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
@prof-  You seem to believe that studios don't believe cables matter.  Some of the better/best ones and(apparently) some of the best artists out there, do.  Otherwise, they wouldn't be spending the big bucks, having their tracks laid down, in thos... 
CDs Vs LPs
My system can reproduce EITHER, with excellent result, AS LONG AS the source material is well recorded, mastered and pressed. Of course, when new my tubed output, CDP(BAT VK-D5) was over $5K and I installed six mid-60’s, grey shield, Siemens CCa’s... 
What is as tube sounding as Conrad today?
Anything that uses valves can be warmed up, or made more, "romantic", by installing genuine, NOS, British flavored tubes(ie: Mullard, Brimar, Genelex, Ediswan).    
Spay for CD
Whatever, "field" might be measured, what’s being measured(far as strength), is the field’s energy level. If fields are comprised of, "nothing", rather than energy, E=mc2 is wrong. https://physics.info/energy/ Trying to define it, is another matte...
