I love my Dire Straits greatest hits I think it’s called. Sounds amazing I want Tracy Chapman and trying to find out whether greatest hits or best of are HDCD or if it’s just Collection I know some country and western singers went into it so I’m seeking a good Johnny Cash one but not sure if...

I’m starting suspect I’ve made another faux pas.. I’m in process of replacing tweeters on my SBLs and I’ve bought solder with high silver content thinking it would be best quality conductive solder to use. Is there a reason I shouldn’t use it?

I’m in process of replacing tweeters and replacing gaskets in same operation. I was admittedly quite daunted by the prospect and would not have tackled if not for the advice and guidance on this site. The more I researched I finally became comfortable with the scan speak latest version and the...

🤔 As one side is sticky I wasn’t going to use silicone on that side but was torn between a permanent fixture and stopping the adhesive properties of the sticky neoprene from taking

Hi guys, Apologies for those sick of SBL posts but I’ve read all threads and can’t see this specific information. I’ve bought all the materials as per the excellent post by doublebubble. I cocked up when ordering my neoprene as bought one specifically for gaskets but it was solid rubber 😫...

Hey guys, not sure if I’ve cocked up. Ordered neoprene sheet to make the gaskets and It feels really solid like a hard rubber rather than spongy like the original gasket is. I gather it must come in different grades or types? There’s no give at all in this material. It said neoprene suitable...

egg shells work for me. Stopped the cats. They don’t like treading on them. I eat at least five eggs per day so I’m never short of em

How did that work out for you? I’m about to replace my tweeters on my SBLs once the materials for the gaskets arrive. I hadn’t anticipated needing this 5mm sorbothane prior to reading this post. Any further advice appreciated

Perfect. Thanks for that Tiggers. I’ll start searching now. Much appreciated 😊

Thanks for that. It’s a great thread including dimensions etc. sadly the post with the links to materials has expired (the links no longer work as eBay items probably sold or amended). I really do fancy having a go just want to make sure I use correct materials

I’ve seen a site called

That’s a great thread there. Thanks for sharing. I’m about to replace tweeters and therefore have to finally get the bottle to replace gaskets and fancied DIY rather than £120. Someone had kindly set links to all materials required but sadly none of the links currently work. Quite excited at the...

Cheers for response Ronnie, I have an iPhone XR if that answers that part and yeah, the chromecast is the old TV type that I’d read a recommendation for on a post a few months back. I bought it as a reconditioned unit as I don’t think they’re available new anymore. I’d be happy to sack the blue...

This isn’t too far from a subject I was wanting to ask about as can’t find answer anywhere so I’ll jump on the back, hope don’t mind 1) Can I run my iPhone directly into my naim nac82 without a dac? I have already bought a din to jack.worried in case it’s dangerous to amp in anyway? If not I’ll...

I also want to use my iPhone X to stream cheaply onto my olive naim amps. I already have a chrome cast currently plugged into my TV.. but, mine has an HDMI cable - how do I go from there to an old naim? I’m not really in a position at the mo to buy any kit but would love the convenience of...
