| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test And a thoughtful robot at that. Tom | |
| Cryogenic experience wanted. Constructive please Don't cryo a laser or electrolytic caps or speaker drivers. You could cryo the magnet assembly of a tweeter whose dome and faceplate can be removed. Tom | |
| x-over resistor replacement query Duelund which makes better resistors anyway are available in 11 ohm. I have some in my speakers. Try Parts Connexion.Tom | |
| Sound dampening You want to break up the sound that travels along flat surfaces. Port the platforms as you described but fill with random stone and not fiberfill. Bass waves will still pass thru the fiberglass. The stone will diffuse and reduce the chance of stan... | |

| Hand crafted equipment rack? Hey Warren its Tom. I'm still at it and have never found a reason to convert to the decoupled method or to a mix of the 2. In fact I am now coupling musical instruments cello, bass and bass clarinet. The benefit is extreme I think. As much as 30% ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil You can by this direct or from Parts Express. I paint this on speaker baskets as well as cabinet internals. Also use on tweeter face plates and then paint over with a clear poly.The rough surface reduces fz stick. Used this product on my SC4's yea... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil VB 1-x from Cascade Audio is the paint on or spray on thick acoustic paint that helps seal off the bad sounding stuff bleeding thru your drivers or cabinet. I like this product because it drys hard and is not a soft damping energy storing energy r... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Houstonreef,Listen first to a selection you are most familar with. Mute the system but leave the volume control un touched.Then do the following. If you have square tubing as pillars. The unused adjustment holes in the pillars should be filled wit... | |
| Top resistors In the past I have built bridges made up of many Vishay resistors for replacement of high wattage resistors in loudspeakers..Upon first hearing this change out tears may arrive in your eyes. All those engineers and designers who say there are no d... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Looking in from time to time. I now see people using or wanting to use Dyna-mat and lead shot. Both these materials will decouple the speaker from supportive material/enclosure which was originally intended to couple energy..though poorly understo... | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers Dunlavy replaced the tweeters 3 different times because there were improvements to the dome and suspension from Vifa. There was no model call out on this that I was in formed about. I know this because I worked for a dealer in the early 90's and e... | |
| Is it time for new Zu? Deja Vu or is it Deja Zu all over again. Tom | |
| THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT. Non-ferrous brass cover plates. Check with a magnet before you buy. Tom | |
| Fuses that matter. NormOther than mechanically grounding my entire audio system the magnets were and still are the biggest single improvement I have made in my hi-fi. Tom |
