Which elements are you referring to? Charlie1’s rubber surrounds were replaced, which required them to be glued back together. I don’t know what type of glue was used.Whatsmynaim wrote: ↑2022-12-08 11:25 They can, and probably will improve over time while the unserviced pair can only get worse. I know which ones I would pick ;)
I have to ask. Is the glue used to secure the elements stiff or a bit elastic? If it's the latter you could experiment with the torquing, which I still suspect is the biggest reason for the difference in musicality.
The original drive unit gaskets were cast in situ silicone sealant, with the drive units primarily secured with the 4 bolts tightened by feel to “Linn tight” *. I’m not aware of any “stiff” glues ever being used.
* The Linn torquing scale was: “Loose >> Pinched Up >> Tight >> Very Tight >> ******* Tight >> Linn Tight >> Broken”
