The most critical parts when recapping
https://we.tl/t-jPidKgbCqOWould one be able to tell if this is a coupling cap? It is a Wima Series 4, 0.1uf 250v.This is a Schiit Ragnarok 2. I’ve seen others switch out Wima film caps in Schiit products, with good results. Those were tube preamps... 
Recapping and Bias
Thank you, guys!!  
Balanced DAC — XLR or SE ouputs?
Schiit does claim that it really is true balanced, all the components I've mentioned now. @tweak1 Thank you! Do you have good XLR recommendations? And preferably plain cable that I can solder connections to. @auxinput These are clarifying insights... 
Oscilloscopes - what specs to look for?
Thank you all for the help! I ended up getting a lightly used Rigol 1054z. And yes. You can hack it to unlock 100Mhz, increasing from 50Mhz, more memory (24M) and some advanced features.  
Oscilloscopes - what specs to look for?
To specify the why and what better: I'm in general intrinsically motivated by the field. For audio, I want to both fix, repair, improve and maybe build gear. I can't afford most stuff on the market, and I find I much more enjoy working with gear r... 
Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub
@erik_squires I'm ready! Show me! I've actually been thinking about it lately. @terry9 They actually do have this weird oily-ness to them! Thanks for the heads up. So. Nothing to gain from other cables, then, I gather, expect potential health prob... 
Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub
@rauliruegas I’ve looked at the WIMA FKP-1s now. I see that I have similar looking parts on the boards. Are these the same types? Because I see they look different than regular can types of electrolytic capacitors. If they are the same types, are ... 
Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub
@imhififan sorry! Suggestions for better hosting of pics?Thank you for your inputs! I’ve calculated the prices and I’m just gonna give it a shot. It came to about $100, and another of these subs new will be $3400, unless another freak incident hap... 
The most critical parts when recapping
Thank you both for great input! This really cleared it up for me. About diodes: Do you also here look for the same "values"? Or are there aspects to them that you can change? Luckily, in my project now, I actually have replaced the large power cap... 
Modding the Zu Omen MKII
@zuangbro Did you experience needing any burn in? It sounds kinda muffled now. The whole speaker. I guess especially the FRD.Or maybe I've messed something up.

Thank you!spoke again with radian. They said it would be fine if you’d make it fit. And they said performance would hardly if at all be affected. Also. Zu said the 850s would be hard to fit in there even with making a bigger hole. If at all possib...

hm. I see your point! Thank you. I had a look at the ASD 1001 Eminence drivers. They come in a B-version with that bracket off... So yeah. That would be the same thing.Thanks, man! :)
