hey man. thank you.
so can i use the dap or the e6000 on /top/ of existing clean 3M77?
i do 't gave a ton of trouble and i'm not crazy about using acetone and removing a lot of it.
also, ate there any images of the magnet trick and where to NOT apply power? the tweeters are the thin wires at the edges?!?
magnet trick seems like it could be very helpful with e6000 but the contact cement seems like it would be VERY easy sep if i can adhere to existing 3M77...
THANKS

Unfortunately, there's no way around it. You would need to remove the remaining old adhesive (from the Mylar & wire segments to be fixed only) with acetone or something. Otherwise, the new glue would not hold. (However, please check with them again; removing the old adhesive from my Maggies DID take acetone. The old glue was not water-based.) If you need to wait until April and follow Magnepan's instructions, that should work well also. In fact, it does give you more time to study other things in more detail.
The magnets mentioned earlier are the ones on the black perforated board side. You may have seen references to it as "pole piece". That perforated metal sheet you see is fully covered with magnets on the inner side. You don't see the magnet side directly because it is facing the Mylar sheet. (If you explore the MUG link at the top of the forum's page, I am sure you'll find illustrations.)
What Neo and I suggest is the "battery trick". When/if you get closer to try it, we can give you more details. It takes advantage of the continuous attraction between wires and magnets when a battery's DC power is applied (in the proper polarity and terminals). It is really simple and helps to keep a wire segment down after applying adhesive there.
hey man
thanks a ton. i guess i will get with magnestan on the glue. i don't have the receiver to power these things anyway so it should (!) be easy to cool my jets.
can i ask where the"MUG" forum is exactly? maybe it is not showing up on my phone? does MUG stand for something?
lastly can i ask about stands? i've seen some very plain upside down metal T stands with the speakers about 2" off the floor. we dell says they don't want them off the ground or they lose base but they /do/ want them tilted a bit (i guess for room size or something to direct the sound). does this sound right and is it BETTER to have a very rigid stand...?
THANKS

Hi I can't help but notice you're referring to Maggies as 'magnestan' are your panels by PG (also referenced prevously)? Thanks-

hi. sorry for the error. they are the plain ones. i did research and then conflated a motorcycle pannier called "enduristan" with magestan and typed a brain fart....
MUG stands for Magnepan Users Group, an old forum which seems to have been integrated into this one well before I was born, LOL. On regular PC web browsers, it can be seen as a link at the top of the main Planars page, as "MUG Home". It now contains the old , as well as some new, reference information about planars, not just Maggies. I have been able to access it from my phone but who knows if the displays have changed. So, I include the link at the bottom here.
Now, about the stands, we can take that up later (I am at work, lunch break, and starving :). There's plenty said in the MUG and here already but I may have an idea or two to offer once you get your bearings.
ah. cool. thanks a ton. still trying to get my bearings with the forum software (and terminology!).
appreciate it....
