Forgot I'd posted this question. An update (especially for others running Totem Forests and wondering about low freq output). Some months back I replaced the JAS H-1 hybrid w/Consonance Cyber 800SEs and Cyber Ref 50 pre-amp. No longer thinking abo...

Kristofferson? 
The next best Tweak ???
Ozzy - In the last line, it seemed to me Parts Express was saying all electrolytic caps are NOT necessarily polar. Either way, non-polar or polar and properly connected - does it matter? 
The next best Tweak ???
Hi Folks - Was shopping on Parts Express for some caps. Saw some 10000uF but from the pix, not obvious how to tell poles. Submitted a question that got the following answer. Thought it might be helpful to post. Apparently not all caps are "polariz... 
The next best Tweak ???
Thanks, Ozzy. It'll take a little time to collect the parts but I'll report what I hear.

Ozzy - I read your post with interest. Trying cheap tweaks is definitely a fun part of this hobby. I'd like to try your cap/battery tweak on my speakers but want to be sure I understand how to implement it. Do I have this right? 1) Install the cap...

Terrible/Inappopriate songs ...
"Immigrant Song" on Led Zep III. Not a bad song - just doesn't fit the rest of the album (IMO). 
Help me find violin and cello related
I was pleased to see Rushton's mention of Hindemith. Please give a listen to his, "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra" (1939). It is well represented on YouTube. Also, consider Ralph Vaughan Willams', "The Lark Ascending". 
Can I straighten an off-center twisted cantilever?

Can I straighten an off-center twisted cantilever?
Cdk -I've no experience with such a repair. Can the Dyanvector stylus be replaced (my only experience is w/Shure carts where you can plug in a new stylus/cantilever assembly)? Even if that ran $150 or half the price of the cart itself, maybe that'...
