  1. Yes sir that's exactly how it works. If for instance you plug in the 100hz card it sends 100hz and up to the high side and 100hz and below to the subs. Vacuum tube amps crossover at a different point than solid state amps. Something to do with their speaker output taps. A vacuum Tube amp is around 100k ohms and SS is around 10k to 33k ohms. This changes the crossover point. Example: one of my cards crosses over at 78hz with a Vacuum tube amp and the same card crosses over at 350hz with a solid state amp. So Mark made me several cards to cover vac vs ss.
  2. I have two DQ-LP1's and use them for all the time. They are very handy. Mark Lucas did his magic and repurposed the center channel outputs so that I can plug in different crossovers that he made up for me. Super handy!
  3. You can never go wrong with more subs. IMHO😁
  4. Yep that is exactly the one I was talking about. Dude is crazy but I like his style.
  5. I saw a picture a few years back where a guy poured his basement floor and formed the concrete into ports and mounted some kind of huge subs down under the floor. Cant remember the details but it was pretty elaborate and crazy looking. Bob told a story one time about doing some R&D work for Boeing. The made a sub woofer about the size of a garage door and used hydraulic cylinders to pulse it. Something to do with using it in the wind tunnel.😬

  7. Welcome Charles! And get busy obtaining novice status......We want pics of that system!!!!😁
  8. I have a Denon-103 cartridge. Where do I find info on cartridge loading? Or does anyone know off the top of your head what it needs to be set at. I'm playing with my fresh Nelion recapped Sunfire vtcc with a sweet new Nelion phono board. The options are 22, 47, 150, 470, 47k. I'm going to make a post with pics and give a review coming up soon.
  9. I have some DQ-20's that are 1987 model. Had to get new foam surrounds a few years back but other than that they sound like brand new. Also had a 1993 Carver amp recapped last month and 99% of everything was still in spec. Glad to have you here!
  10. Welcome Max! We love to drool over everyone's system so post up them pics friend!
  11. Cool speaker wire wall plug in, nice clean and functional. So now I have to ask which speaker sounds better?😁

    SPEAKER DILEMMA

    Well the first thing that popped in my pea brain when you mention Cerwin Vegas is BASS! The tower speaks you showed will probably have more finesse with less glass shattering bass. That's my .03 worth but I will need a penny of change back....lol I love the detail of my DQ-20's but have to say the Amazings have a way of filling the whole room up with music even at low listening levels.
  14. Count Lori Ann and myself for Loft 1. I may or may not be proudly representing a stack of Kingman's Phase Linear gear! WooHoo!
  15. Oh Man thanks Greg I appreciate it. Okay looks like I have the 10B....thanks for the help guys!
  16. I've tried to post pics from my phone and the site wont let them load. Says the file size is too big. I don't know what to do...…. The tweeter says Polk Audio Silver Coil Dome.
  17. I have a pair of Polk Monitor 10's. They say Monitor Series 10 on the back. Is there an "A" and "B" model? Which one is mine? How can I tell?
  18. Merry Christmas Carver friends!

    Vinyl

    When I bought my DQ-20's in about 1995 the guy I got them from gave me an old tuner (don't remember the brand JVC or something) and a turn table. He said sell them for me if possible if not just keep them or throw them away. I sold the tuner in a week or two but nobody wanted the turn table.....CD's were in and vinyl was out in the 90's. I put the turn table in the attic of my garage and it sat there for probably 15yrs. Decided to get it down and see what I had, I remembered it looking pretty old school with nice wood. I figured it would be a corroded rust bucket after sitting up there so long. It was still mint! And it was a DENON DP-62L omg! Serial #0004 omg! Now I was really excited, so hooked it up after getting advise from BrianT about phono preamps, mm, mc, all that jazz. Got it running and showed my kids who were about age 9 and 12, they had never seen such a contraption. Was playing some music for them and my son says Dad how do you fast forward?....lol.... I said you get off the couch lift the needle and set it down on the next song..haha...great memory.
