solobone - yes, there is a replacement. That "UltraTweeter" is used in the CS5, CS3.6 and CS2.2. Rob can tell you where to get (Madisound?) a direct replacement with a fiber dome rather than aluminum. Berger at Vifa designed both and likes them equally. Keep us posted as to what you learn.

I certainly will keep you guys posted. I would not mind delving into Synergistic Research, however, their company offer several lines of products. It is easy to get lost in the weeds so to speak. And then there are those magic bullets...
I wished that I had a local dealer/retailer to test drive those offerings.

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the information. Ted appears to be a stand-up guy. 
I admire him for not junk sourcing his wares to china, while, charging a premium for cables/cords. Other U.S. manufacturers are doing the same.

Happy Listening!

Yes! those older AQ cables/cords are still relevant in 2021. 
I do not know when this company started sourcing to china?
Odd, because the Niagara conditioner is made here in the U.S.A.
(according to Garth Powell).

Happy Listening!
