| Focal Aria 926/936 I don’t know a single tower speaker that sounds best at tweeter level (not counting MTM type of designs). In virtually all tower speakers ever made, the drivers sum if the ear is closer to the midrange. This ear at tweeter is a myth that needs to ... | |
| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? When it comes to crossovers, resistors should be wirewound, or paralleled film/foil types to get proper power rating. Stay away from metal oxide resistors at all cost!My personal favorite are still the Mills MRA-12, but I also like Ohmite AG12. | |
| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? @grannyring If one knows what they’re doing, Theta is all they need to know. Clarity CSA is an inferior metallized capacitor built by the lowest bidder. Their CopperConnect technology is marketing nonsense. Copper end spray has been around since t... | |

| Which Subwoofer would you choose? BK Electronics makes the best consumer subwoofers in the world, as far as I’m concerned. Available to U.S. factory direct from UK. Exceptional prices too. This is the original OEM company which manufactured the ST line for REL and made them famous... | |
| How much isopropanol is effective but safe for viny? 100% effective, 100% safe. Vinyl records can be submerged for decades in 100% concentration and remain like new. Plasticizers don’t leach in alcohol. Alcohol has the same PH as water. Alcohol has virtually ZERO impact on vinyl records. This has b... | |
| Cartridge recommendation for ReVox tangential tracking turntable. 2M Black. My favorite cartridge of all time. And highest compliance MM of 22 on the current market. | |
| How much isopropanol is effective but safe for viny? @lewm Stop feeding the troll. You can leave a vinyl record submerged in 100% alcohol for 10 years and it will be like new after removed. | |
| How much isopropanol is effective but safe for viny? Plasticizers. Lol! This thread has gone to crazy town. |
