put acetone on your speakers!

[SG~GUY]

-I found an old thread over on the gear page about people and even amp companies diluting acetone and putting a small amount -(either by spaying or painting)- on the cone and the doping to take the harshness out of speakers, with 75's & V-30's having great results...

-and some put lacquer on the dust caps to brighten the speaker

-who amongst us will sacrifice there speakers for the betterment of his fellow MARSHALL formites!!!

*waiting to see what happens

I can only say who it won't be

I sure hope they don't 'forget' and later list those same cones for sale in the Classifieds section.

No wonder my B cab with G12-65s sounds nothing like the G12-65s I know of.

-I'm giving some serious though about doing this to some 75's, they say that this treatment makes them sound like greenbacks-

That is like premature ejaculation.

Break them in and use them the natural, right way.

Do not ruin the mood.

oldschool.

Conversely, has anyone ever heard of covering a cone with rubber cement to enhance bass?
This guy I knew did it to his home tower speaker, on the woofers..it di seem to work..

get either of these & cut in 2-5" diameters and experiment.

....or you could get drunk and piss on your speakers--this will enhance the tone over time

Hey! Why don't we all take our old seventy80's and try it on them? If nobody wants them afterwards then nothing changed!

Would be interesting to see this done on a reissue greenback..

Let us know how that works out for yah

 

[wakjob]

Never heard of the acetone thing, but an old audiophile dude told me to put English Oil on the foam/rubber surrounds to keep them from dry rotting.

I'm not sure he was talking about the furniture stuff though?

Seemed logical to me at the time, but I've yet to do it.

I would worry about the acetone drying out the cones too much.
