Last thing. Certain parts within a component chassis are very heat sensitive, and require dissipation of that heat ( transistors, resistors, transformers, and some others ). Proceed with caution. I leave these components alone, but will apply arou...

One last thing. There are many parts within a component that are temperature sensitive, in other words, get hot ( transistors, resistors, transformers, tubes ), that I encourage caution. I do not apply on these, but if given room and with proper h...

If anyone wants to try it, I use Dynaflex 230, window and door sealant, by DAP. It is available in a squeeze tube, but I purchase it in the 10.1 ounce tubes. If you purchase it in these larger tubes, you need a caulk gun, and, need to puncture a s...

Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Kosst, you said this : " Sure, there's things they could do better, but I like what they do and they work well in the space I have ". A comment you made about your Focals. I could really talk about, in so many ways, why they " are not for me ". Bu... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
phusis, I have had my time with unsound. I really do believe, either, he has not heard a proper horn " set up ", or, he just does not like them ( even loathes them ). He is entitled. Just do not understand some of these folks, and why it bothers t... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
kosst, no one here has ever used the term " perfect ", to describe horns, but, have shown " passion " for their attributes, and more important, preferences to us listeners. There is much passion, all over the ' Gon, about other items and categorie...
