It could be a tear in the cone, though those are usually frequency sensitive. Does it only happen on certain notes or all the time?Olsvik wrote:I have noticed that one of the Fanes in the '75 cabinet seems to crackle/distort. What would cause this?
Haha Olsvik! I'm sure you're being too modest about your playing. How can someone with enough taste to choose a Hiwatt as a battlehorse not have as much "flair" in his playing?Olsvik wrote:Yeah it definitely looks "Rock!" People think I must be a rock god when they see that stack, then they hear me play
That cone looks perfectly fine to me.Olsvik wrote:It looks like there may have been a small repair at one point?
The surround is at the outer edge of the cone. You want to push down just enough to move the voice coil in the gap (between the pole and the magnet) to see if you hear a scratchy sound.OldSchoolDave wrote:If the cone looks fine, CAREFULLY put fingers on opposite sides of the cone's edges (near the surround) and GENTLY push it down evenly and release it. If you hear a grinding/crunching/scratching sound, it might need cleaning / realigning.
The surround isn't marked on that graphic (cool graphic, though!). It's the accordioned part between the gasket and the cone proper.Olsvik wrote:So, just inside the gasket on that photo?
