| Cartridge with broken coil wire I agree with Raul......these connections/coils are very thin and you don't want to zap them. Some cartridge manufacturers say its ok, but if you don't have their ok........The only remanufacturer I know is Soundsmith in New York, USA. | |

| What does a bad tweeter sound like? Mr_M.....don’t think so, the batteries need to be changed in 2019 also (so marked)... Neither does Richard V. When the batteries exhaust, everything still plays, but with less dynamics, etc....it sounds like the speaker has to be broken in again. ... | |

| What does a bad tweeter sound like? ...just got the tweeter back and installed...just as I thought - the tweeters were checked to be working perfectly. Vandersteen told me to check for tightness around the face plate....if not buzzing, then the only thing left is to check the cros... | |
