Interesting to see this sub chassis, I have a Heybrook TT2 which is very much the same design principle, yet solved slightly differently.

New temporary armboard, different arm coming...

I'm trying to fix some 044Ti's with powderized damping plugs. The 044Ti wasn't pierced originally, so I'd be hesitant to pierce it, myself. I was hoping a 035Tia foam plug could maybe be compatible,...

Ok, I see. As you say, it's already there so... Guess I'll ignore it for now and proceed. I should be able to generate a sweep test, hopefully that will tell me something. It's a backup, but I still...

*Sigh*. If you look closely at the pics of the tweeter, there's a small black dot in the middle of the dent in the first picture. My friend in France recieved it like that, yet in the pics posted by...

Very informative video, thanks a lot :)! I think the foam I have found is very similar to what he's using, very soft. I will trim them a little, and maybe "dome"-shape them as well. He's compressing...

So I'm considering using these for plugs, unused Thorens spring damper foam from recent replacement. Very soft and easy to compress, and I know they will not powderize over time. How long they will...

Hm, I think if I could get the 12-18 year material, I'd start there and maybe try to measure my way to the right foam compression level. Long process perhaps, but maybe possible using a UMIK-1 and...

Looking closer at foam specs, they have huge variance in "typical lifetime", from very short up to 18 years, as best I could find.

Great, I should get it clean :). I have a few foams available I've found, now that I know what "open cell" is.

I very, very gently brushed off some powder sticking to the rear of the dome...

Hm, I'm not too well informed on foams :o:. But, looking at https://www.foambymail.com/open-cell-foam.html, which would you choose?

It's not biking season, so I have to move some stuff to get to...

Hi, and thanks again guys :)! Good idea, I must have some old foam somewhere. Matress foam, maybe?
Next one I'll use less/narrower leverage and more patience, even if it worked out without...

Ok, after being lost in the Postal system, the 044Ti arrived today, and I just couldn't wait :bouncy:.

It got a sqeeze during shipping, poor packaging :(

But I managed, it...

Hi, sorry for the late answer, I've had a stay in hospital for some planned surgery, but recovering now.

I haven't got the plug yet, and don't know what to use. Perhaps look for a similar part,...

Ok, this is becoming a different thread, I should make new thread under DIY for the continuation. Step one will be servicing tweeters one by one, so I know they deliver to their potential with no goo...

LE14H-1, thanks Giskard. Looks good :o:.

:bouncy:

Appreciate your help, mac (even if you lead me into temptation :D). On paper several of the CD drivers looks usable and good, I'm trying to understand why some may be better than...

Thanks, Odd! "Trestokken" looks both high quality and a safe way to go to make a clone... :). Nice to know about, from time to time I need parts made for projects requiring tools too expensive and...

Hmm, 400mm is within dimensions of the box - I could actually do it... :D

But I agree the PTH1010-1 looks much better, is easier and is probably cheaper to implement. Some mention crossing at...

I'm afraid I fell down the cartridge/tonearm/turntable rabbit hole some time ago, and secured a diverse stock of NOS styli and vintage cartridges. But I agree, a good nude, stylus is a must....

Trimming M2 horns? This looks cheap? https://reconingspeakers.com/product/jbl-d2430k-tweeter-for-jbl-m2-5032754x/

It's one of those (whatstheword), I record digital only but prefer to listen to music from vinyl... :blink:. But really, quality of mastering for CD varies a lot, some is good, some not so good....

Unfortunatley I don't have vinyl versions of those album, may have to do something about that. I worked in a record shop when Brothers in arms was released, and got a serious overdose at work, never...

Actually Derek, I was thinking of seawolfs 044ti thread, but I'd like to see your 128H repair too? I have much to learn, for sure...

The 150As, I talked to him before buying the 240s, and he...

Thanks mac, being sick with something which isn't covid is not top priority in healthcare these days :(. Didn't hear from Mats?

Thanks Derek & seawolf :). I've seen the repair thread, very nice (and somewhat scary). I'm considering buying a spare 044Ti to practice on or as backup, but so far no luck. The 150As are still for...
