I've searched and do not find any information on the damping element on the acoustic clarifiers. It seems that many of the calrifiers are subject to having the damping element melting and running down the metal frame and not being a part of the cone damping anymore. The damping element started life as a piece of rubber and turned into drippy rubber glue. My questions are: Is anyone familure with the sound of a cabinet with good clarifiers versus one with the damping element melted out? (relate a comparison) Next question: Has anyone attempted to replace the damping element on a clarifier? Next question: I have just finished replacing a damping element in a clarifier with a piece of rubber band and have taken pictures and documented the process: Would it be worthwhile to go to the trouble of writting it all up or has someone gone before me?
Thanks to all.
