    ESR compensation

    Quick question: but first, I've read about how one can add a small series resistor to compensate for ESR when replacing electrolytic caps with film caps, but it seems most of the talk is with tweeters that I could find clear explanations for. It's obvious that when compensating for the ESR...

    Crossover caps, why use in parallel?

    Hi, a quick one for the techies amongst you. Checking over the crossovers in my Ditton 44's there are two instances where the manufacturers have used 2uF caps doubled and even tripled in parallel, to give 4 and 6uF respectively. These actually meter out at 6.9uF and 8.5uF so I think I should...

    Dahlquist DQ10 Recap and Refoam and Such

    I landed a pair of Dahlquist DQ10 off CL for $250. Supposedly one driver was intermittent. The owner said banging on the side would usually bring it back. Wow like 1970's television. And they have not been serviced (or cleaned) since 1972 that I could tell. But there is a special place in...
