| KEF 104/2 tweeters The bottom panel is not glued in. It is a very snug fit and can be difficult to remove. I read somewhere where someone used the spikes as leverage to remove the panel.Did you decide that the trouble with your muffled sound is with the tweeters? Di... | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters The mid range drivers are an integral part of the enclosure and cannot be removed. You should be able to tell from looking at the front of them if there are any issues with them. Did the previous owner replace the foam donuts? Perhaps he connected... | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters I wouldn't get into the caps yet, there are a lot of them in the crossover. When you removed the front enclosure to access the tweeters, did you clean up the slip-on connecters and check if they have a good connection? If you didn't, I would check... | |
| Alternatives Software for iTunes on Mac We tried Audirvana a while ago and after considerable listening on my 3 systems and my wife's system, we could not tell any significant difference with iTunes. This was only with our AIFF ripped CDs streamed wirelessly. We do not use any internet ... | |
| Alternatives Software for iTunes on Mac joscow The dropouts may be related to your WiFi. If you are on 2.4 GHz band try to change to a different channel or if you have a dual band router, try 5 GHz. The freezes and hangups are a different matter. Perhaps you need to reinstall iTunes, or... | |
| Alternatives Software for iTunes on Mac @joscow, What problem are you having with iTunes? Maybe it can be resolved. Like you I have been using iTunes for a long time. I still use it to wirelessly stream my AIFF ripped CDs to an Airport Express or Apple TV and have not encountered any pr... | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters The ferrofluid is available from Parts Express. It doesn't take much. The ferrofluid comes in little tubes for different size tweeters. Each tube is enough for one tweeter. You need 2 tubes for 1 inch tweeters. They are about $6 each. | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters As georgehifi says the KEF T33 is a great tweeter. Once cleaned up and new ferrofluid applied it will be as good as new. It is a straightforward process. There are several online videos for the process and plenty of discussions on Audiokarma. The ... | |
| kef 104 / 2. Speakers questions In my opinion, the 104/2 does not need the KUBE. They put out plenty of bass without the KUBE. In fact on some tracks they can rattle the windows. When I heard the KUBE with them it seemed to muddle the sound.My favorite amp with them is the Acur... | |
| kef 104 / 2. Speakers questions I believe the 104/2 was designed to be used with the grills in place. You can do what sounds best to you. The Sherwood amp will drive them but I don’t know if it will bring out the best in the 104/2. Even though they are a fairly efficient speaker... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers One of my favorite speakers is the KEF 104/2. They were made between 1984 and 1996. They are very non-fatiguing, exhibiting a rich full midrange and smooth highs with enough bass to satisfy most people. They produce a large 3 dimensional soundstag... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid Yes if the copper chloride is perfectly dry it is a yellow-brown color but in the presence of moisture it easily forms the dihydrate which is a green color. This is what you typically see due to moisture in the atmosphere. Copper chloride is alway... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid It is not overkill. Even if you handle the edges, oils from your fingers migrate onto the outer edge of the playing surface of the LP. I always had boxes of clean room gloves in my lab so they were readily available. | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid I no longer play LPs, but when I did I used clean room gloves to handle my LPs. The worst thing to try to remove from an LP surface are the proteins, amino acids, lipids and salts from your skin contact. If you handle your LPs carefully with no sk... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid mijostyn - The copper turning green is due to oxidation. Copper oxide is not green. The copper +1 oxide (Cu2O) is red and the copper +2 oxide (CuO) is black. Copper turning green is due to the formation of copper chloride. If it turns a blue or aq... |
