Portland Audio Club

People who get together and share their love of music, and audio. The focus is on audio equipment and music reproduction. Different systems. How do the sound? Why do they sound that way? What does your system sound like? These are they types of question that need to be answered, and this group endeavors to figure them out. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and honestly, I'm pretty sure there's no finish line. So lets get together and see what happens.

"I heard some DQ-10's a few years ago and indeed they're nice, never owned any. Chris, I'll be very interested in what the replacement components are that you select, that's what I do for a living, except for computers...."

"caps, resistors, tweeters, and speaker wire. I think these things sound great with 30+ year old crossover parts, and I'm excited to see what happens after the mod. I've heard good things about these speakers before, so I decided to give it a shot."

"Hey, Chris. That's an exciting acquisition. It's only been about 30 years since I've heard the DQ-10s. A clever design, excellent sound, and I'm certainly familar with their historic rep. May I ask what kind of mod'ing you intend to perform?"

"Hey guys. Sounds like it was a lot of fun. Really wish I could have attended. Maybe we'll do something similar again sometime? By the way, I just picked up a pair of dalhquist dq-10s for a song...."

"Superb sound, where all the missing pieces were audible. Lacked only some spaciousness, probably dictated by the small room. The thoughtfully prepared musical presentation, supplemented by written material, helped enormously...."
