What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@dulledge-    "Anyone that knows anything about science knows that you could never assign a number like 96% to what remains a mystery as that would imply knowing exactly what we don't know."                                                       ... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Again: no one can possibly know whether ANY given changes will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying them for themselves.        Anyone that knows anything about the sciences (Physics, i...

Compression Horns for Far field listening
You’ll need an inductor at least (for a 6db/oct slope), to block the highs from the 8" driver.     http://www.apicsllc.com/apics/Misc/filter1.html            Choose parts and a slope, via this, for the horn (1uF @ 8 Ohms = 17,000 Hz @6db/oct):  ...

Dahlquist DQ10 issues
"...so I tested by listening until I started to hear the failure...".                                                      Knowing how that, "failure" sounds would be most advantageous, to anyone attempting a diagnosis.      ie: A dead, complet... 
Dahlquist DQ10 issues
btw: If the system’s still putting out some sound, but at (seemingly) much lower levels: try cleaning the treble level control (and again, the tweeter fuse holder).      When the upper freqs are missing, everything sounds way off.      I suppose I... 
Dahlquist DQ10 issues
Your DQ-10 pair was manufactured with metalized Mylar capacitors.    Film caps don’t age, dry out or leak as do aluminum electrolytics.     Unless a resistor burns: they don’t typically go bad either.    If there were an issue with the crossover... 
Cable Elevators
Why would those with experience have anything to concede, to those with theories?    Especially: given the plethora of variables, in this hobby. 
Phase Linear 700 & 400 series II
"Hand an idiot the keys to a Ferrari and watch what happens."                                                    Based on the plethora of 700/400s requiring repair (way back then): an atypical number of, "idiots" must have owned them.      To th...
