hey-Hey!!!,
I'm looking for somebody who's seen one of MQ's new production( in comparison to the Altec/Peerless originals ). I'm looking for a description of one of the physical attributes of the S-271's core. Exactly, how thick is the stack of Ni lamination in its core? I thought I'd seen a picture of one of these big outputs, but I don't remember where, and it was a homogeneous core.
cheers,
Douglas

Hey-Hey!!!,
I suppose I could ask, but I don't think there's any trusting the answer. I want to see what has already been done. That way, it's right there in black and silver( or as I suspect, just black ).cheers,
Douglas

Hey-Hey!!!,
The acquisition process is not likely to be easy, but I don't see the return process to be nearly as easy...:) It isn't like I need anything but a picture of one of MQ's so-called exact copies to know the answer. I have recieved some private correspondence that tells me there is no Ni in the new ones, that for some reason it was left out. Considering all the claims MQ makes about how good putting a few slices of Ni into a core stack, you'd think that for a $1k2 output TX, it would get the Ni. Seems like deciet on his part if it's left out while claiming a true reproduction.
cheers,
Douglas

I think mikey has advertised the Ni pinstriping as being superior. The stuff he claims to be exact replicas appears to be a corners-cut attempt at that. I found a bit of Ni in the S271S I took apart, and I've not found any evidence which supports the idea that MQ ever put any in their so-called exact replicas. Actually I've found evidence which points to the opposite. I suppose mikey could weigh in and tell his side, but there looks like nothing but an admission of what I have already spelled out, and he seems to have more trouble saying 'I was wrong' than the Fonz.
cheers,
Douglas

Actually, the only thing I trust MQ to do is continue behaving as he always has. There will be none of my money flowing to him, through an intermediary, or directly. There is nothing he can do for me that I cannot do for myself at a far better price and quality level. Besides, most of what he wants to do for me, I don't want done in the first place....:) It's one thing to create a close copy. It is quite another to claim it is an exact and perfect copy. It is still up in the air as to how much it is going to cost me to have the 271 built w/o the Ni stripe. I have my doubts as to how much that stripe was helping/hurting the performance anyway. M4 or M3 should make for one very nice output. It is too bad there seems to be no way to get Ni done in that size. cheers,
Douglas

I think the best policy is to copy the real Peerless product with as close precision as possible, to state that that is what has been done, and to adopt a policy of not even looking at the MQ versions. That way he cannot allege you have cobbed his necessary adaptations.
Not that it would matter anyway.
