    Replacing Dahlquist DQ-10's 80uf electrolytic cap

    I was a little bored yesterday; it was raining so I couldn't do anything outside. I mentally went through my audio projects in search of something small. My Dahlquist DQ-10's has all poly caps expect for the 1 80uf electrolytic. That's a pretty small project! I shuffle through my box of caps...

    TimeFrame 2000's Unlikely 2500 Mile Journey from CA to GA

    Ah, the almost mythical DCM TimeFrame 2000. Always heard about it - never actually laid eyes on one. Rumors abound about them; limited run prototypes, testing the waters to see if they would sell, less than 250 pairs produced, and on and on. Whatever the truth may be, one thing is fact; they...

    Decoding capacitor numbers to find a replacement?

    Hi, I have these capacitors (the 2 blue ones) in a speaker crossover and I am not sure how to decode the numbers stamped on the part to find a proper replacement. In the sister-speaker, these caps are completely blown - and I mean disintegrated. Any hints how to determine the characteristic...

    DCM TimeWindow^2 Crossover Rebuilds

    I got a pair of TimeWindow^2 a while back and figured it's time for a recap. I had always heard that the crossover was crazy-complicated but I had never seen a picture of one, or a schematic. Popped-the bottom cover off the "hat" portion of the speaker and here's is what I found. Looks to be...

    AR 2ax Scroe!!!! (NOT)

    Went to the local GW today and stumbled upon a very nice set of AR 2ax's. Cabs are in excellent condition - will refinish nicely. One corner bashed a bit but give then age.... not bad. Here are some pics: Pretty sweet huh??

    Audiophile Speaker Panel of unknown origin - All Polydax. SOLVED: Fuselier Model 9

    I picked these up the other night. I don't use the term audiophile often, but I think it may apply here. The panels themselves are 34" wide, 44" tall and 1.5" deep. Maybe 60-75 pounds. Nice grills for both the front and the back. They sort of "sandwich" the panel and give it a very clean...

    Magnepan MG-IIA Rebuild

    Read all the threads about rebuilding a set of Maggies and felt comfortable that I could accomplish this. Baco99's recent rebuild gave me the confidence I needed. Both tweeters are out and there is some slight rattles in the bass. No problem. This is what I expected. The original owner told...

    Klipsch Chorus II Restoration

    Been looking at these Klipsch Forte II's on CL for about a month. I figured as time went by, they were getting more and more into my price range. Finally contacted the guy and tried to agree on price. He was still about 3x what I wanted to give - even though his price was in line with what...
