Moray James told me about this. Basically, just put a jumper from the basket to the plus or minus lead and listen to the difference - if it sounds better, leave it.Some drivers it makes no difference.
On my Fostex FE206E's it makes an easily noticable difference on the plus lead -
Sounds much more clear - at a slight loss of (not sure how to describe) depth(?).
I understand that some manufacturers have provided ground leads to the driver basket in some of their models, and that this used to be done a good bit years ago, particularly with 6" and 8" full range drivers.
Any idea what is going on here? or other comments?
