Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist...
I could care less, but- It wouldn't be easy! It seems I've entered into a battle of wits with a number of un-armed individuals. Enjoy yourselves!!

That we can measure amperage, impedance(or resistance), and capacitance is not in question. A music signal is much more complex than the AC current that it takes to light your light bulb, containing a plethora of frequencies, harmonics, ambiance a...

You'll notice that the scientific term for our understanding of electricity is "theory". There are understandings that we have in science that are termed, "law"(IE: 1st and 2nd "laws" of Thermodynamics, The "law" of Universal Gravitation) In Scien...

Obviously a degree in engineering(of any kind) does nothing for one's auditory perception. If I couldn't hear the difference (in sound stage width/depth, imaging, transparency, dynamics) between my Wireworld Eclipse cables and Home Depot extension... 
Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners
Mr W- Give me a hint as to how this "new improvement" works(I won't be able to call until tomorrow PM). Obviously Jerry doesn't want us drilling out all those nifty pop-rivets. 
Dahlquist DQ12 replacement woofers?

Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
Mr S- The tubes manufactured for the German telecommunications industry had to conform to certain performance specs. Kind of a parallel of our Mil Spec Standards(once upon a time). The CCa was a specially selected 10K hr, low-noise/well balanced t... 
Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL
Vett- Look at this data sheet for the old Sylvania 6SN7GTA (http://home.comcast.net/~tubes/Syl55/Get_Page.html?175). It's plate voltage is also 450V. The tube you mention is a 6SN7GTA/B- same designation with a "b" added. That's what the different...

You will find everything necessary for passive upgrades here: (http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) Michael will also match that parts to 1% tolerance for you. If you were to bi-amp the panels: I'd recommend a slightly modded Dahlquist DQ-LP1 as...

Whatever you need can be found here:(http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) And Michael will also match whatever you order within 1% tolerance. I've dealt with him for years and have yet to be disappointed. Normally I use Vishay Bulk Foil resistor... 
Kimber 8TC or NBS King/Serpent speaker cables
The Kimber 8TC has been a very popular cable for some time now. That's because they are a very transparent cable that works well with a wide variety of systems. It won't add or subtract anything from your system or music. Lots of folks look for ca...

I should have mentioned: Don't let this experience dissuade you from pursuing NOS replacements for your unit. Their sonic benefits over what's being manufactured today will make your efforts well worth it.
