Me too,I guess it's something to do with my sensitive nature

Doc is on holiday , so in the meantime i will offer my opinion . i tried many values of padding resistor . if we assume 6 would have been perfect for you , it is unlikely a 5.6 ohm will be noticeably different . You can only tell by listening and seeing which you prefer . 5 watts on all of them wil...

Thanks Doc.I did hold fire, I read through some of the threads on here were you've already mentioned a padding resistor, apart from the values,so I'm grateful you've responded with the necessary extra information and advice. I've sent for some 10ohms 5 watt wirewounds, but I can't find 6 ohms only 5...

Thanks both. Applied Servisol to all switches/control knobs giving them a good rotating back and forth as i went along, "wow" what a difference,all fluttering/crackling gone :clap: Thank you so much for the advice :handgestures-thumbupright: I can only echo Dave's opinion on this, it almos...

Get some Servisol switch cleaner-lubricant from your local Maplin (CPC are great but now need a £10 order, but P&P is free then) and give the controls and switchgear a good but careful squirt, jiggling or rotating said controls. Hopefully, this will help. Thanks,I will definitely try some Servi...

Tried my mates speakers and the "fluttering" noise is still there.It's actually something to do with the volume control or the switches on the Leak amplifier, because there is a lot of crackling when turned, but then it disappeared.. Not sure why this is happening now,I guess it's sods law...

Motorboating as Doc says... What amp are you using Ronin ? It's a Leak Stereo 30+,it was handed down to me.I used to have an old steel NVA AP20 but the phono stage packed-up and i didn't have the dosh to get a new one, so i give it to my mate.He was so impressed with it he bought an NVA phono 1 to ...

Ronin, capacitors look fine, as does the wiring. All + cables to to + connections on the drivers & likewise for the -'s... 1st order (single component in series, as you have done) has 90 degree phase shift whereas 2nd order (as was originally fitted) has a 180 degree shift necessitating the twe...

Thanks guys.

I will hook them up and report back.

Fair enough Doc.The only reason I asked,because I had a spare tub left over.But since I've got no definitive answer from Bostik and you're not sure,I've had to a order some Bison Kit (which isn't that easy to get hold of in large quantity),I've just ordered a few tubes. Soldered in the Capacitors .C...
