One can certainly produce a tweeter element for the Quad that would be 'arc-proof'. Just a combination of polarizing voltage, air gap and stator insulating material.

Of course this new 'arc-proof' panel will be totally different in character versus the stock panel because one if not all of the above mentioned parameters will have to change. One may like the 'arc-proof' panel better, nothing wrong with that, but it won't really be a Quad anymore.

Within the design parameters chosen by PJW, i.e. polarizing voltage, air gap and insulating material, making a tweeter element arc-proof is impossible except with the addition of the zener clamp board. While I have not heard the 'arc-proof' panel, I have heard many 'new' tweeter panels produced for the Quad over the years. They all sounded nice but a far cry from the stock panels.
