Hello Troels,
Thanks for the quick response. I built the mk lll. About 4 years ago.
Last year I made the same for a friend of mine. He is also very
satisfied. First with the 8.2 uF Jantzen Alumen Z-cap. A few months ago
we soldered the Duelund CAST Cu-Sn in his loudspeaker filters. This is
really fantastic. Everything sounds even more natural now. Detailed but
never sharp or hard. Soon the Duelund CAST Cu-Sn will also be in my
filters.
Here some photos. The speakers with the black fronts are mine. The light
gray of my listening friend. I have now moved the DTWQT a bit more
forward. Even better low, but above all a much better spatial
representation. Thanks to Jim Smith and his book "get better sound".
Worth reading.
Thanks for this beautiful speaker design,
Sincerely,
Cees
Ps. Too bad you no longer have the Thorens TD 124. Is a top turntable,
especially when it is completely overhauled by the Jaap Pees of Hanze
Hifi here in the Netherlands.
Dear Troels,
A few years ago I built the DTQWT. Top loudspeaker! What a dynamic.
Voices sounds beautiful . Nice spatial view, sometimes creepy realistic.
Easy to control with a tube amplifier. Even a 2 watt single ended 2A3
that I borrowed sounds fantastic.
I just have one more question. What happens to the bass when the speaker
is 5 cm off the floor? And what if it is 3 cm?
Sincerely, Cees
Hello Cees
Thanks for comments to the DTQWT project. Pleased it turned out to your
satisfaction.
3-5 cm distance to floor shouldn’t make much difference, but try it out
and hear what happens.
