It's funny how records are still best.
Mutex ... I clean my records, I setup my P3 very carefully. I have a good mirrored protractor, and I use the Shure stylus balance.Do you have the monarchy DIP classic ? This is the single part of my digital chain that made the most improvement, sh...

DAL SCIV - tweeters gone need help
Unless you get a better offer I'd take them up on it but ask about their returns policy.You might find it works perfectly. If not you probably will not lose much money.Of course you wouldn't be able to solder them in to test, but you could rig up ...

Have you tried calling Madisound ? 
Blues "must have, top 100" list?
Add Snooks Eaglin to the list. He plays guitar like noone else I've ever heard. 
Best integrated amp for imaging/soundstage at $1K?
Densen B-100, if you can find one. A true minimalist solid state design, with what has been described as a tube-like treble. They have been discontinued and will shortly be replaced by a new model. 
Are most DAC's compatible w computers?
I would imagine it will work, BUT my experience has been that the sound of the DAC is extremely dependant on the level of timing jitter coming from the transport, unless the DAC reclocks the data. If your soundcard has low jitter and a good SPDIF ... 
REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room
Hi Raul,"Mi issue is to leave free of low bass reproduction the woofer in the main speakers, in this way we can eliminated almost the most severe intermodulation distortion and heavy harmonic distortion that do a great degradation to the music rep... 
REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room
Raul, RELs only sum to mono if you connect both channels of the power amp. You can connect two REL subs, one to the left channel and one to the right channel if you desire. You then have true stereo sub bass.RELs can be connected to the power amp ...

That's probably where I read it ... in one of Neil's postings :-) 
REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room
Perhaps you could be a little more specific. Say for example:I have $800 to spend.I have an integrated amplifier.I like the sound of my monitor speakers, I just want to extend their performance.Sure, there are other sub manufacturers, but you have...

Can you remove one of the existing tweeters to have a look at it ... it probably has a label on the rear. I seem to remember reading that Dunlavy used Vifa tweeters in many models, in which case a direct replacement is probably available from www.... 
REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room
Raul ... the problem with your answers is that you always assume unlimited (or very high) budget.All hifi components may be "inadequate" but also may represent the best compromise at their price points. The art of engineering is to find the best b... 
A good CD player for about $ 1,500 used?
I would think a Meridian 508.24 would work quite nicely. They are getting a bit old now so it might be worth contacting Meridian regarding transport replacement availability and cost.By the way the Goldring 1042 that I bought from you is working o... 
REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room
"That said when setting the sub up you would need to set the crossover slightly higher than the lower notes on the main speakers"That has not been my experience at all. I have always had to set about 5 Hz lower than the stated -3dB point of my spe...
