Ah the paste dilemma. That's a subject only out done in subjectivity by wood finish's and audio components themselves! I currently use Johnson's after all my lacquer jobs and have no complaints. Behlans, Butchers and Minwax are probably good products also. High carnauba professional automotive like Yellow Wax or Mothers is also around.Well then, your off to some fun. keep things clean, take your time and be meticulous. Bill

because till & bmar let me do it in the comfort of my home on a friday night? hey pro's, what is your opinion of lemon oil on cabinets? i took a pair of ess amt1's on trade and the walnut veneer was very dry. a couple of coats of lemon oil restored the richness to the wood but 2 months later they are dry again. suggestions? cheers, george

hahaha..... I consider lemon oil and oil soaps to be like glazing compound is for used car guys. you HAVE to sell before the wind blows it away. If its an oil finish. Life is simple. get some Watco or tung and consider it rejuvinated. for a hard finish, I dont know. maybe a wipe on poly but you have to get all the old wax, dirt and oil off.
Till, you ever go over anything with wipe on's? I dont use the stuff.

i oil my butcher block cutting board twice a year with it. it holds up well to numerous washings in the sink. i soak the cutting board with oil and overnite the wood absorbs it. lasts about 6 months.i have a teak salad bowl that i never wash, only wipe. all that extra virgin olive oil has developed a nice patina. did you know totem loudspeakers finish the inside of their cabinets? supposed to sound better. the tweaks haven't pitched cabinet material yet, expect to see "monster brand" or "cardas" mdf at home depot soon. shit, audiophile carpet could be next. i'm with till, wire is wire as long as it's thick. george

Last night I moved the two panels from the side walls to the back wall of my listening room. Wowie! Looks like I'm gonna have to build at least two more. The effect of the panels on the back wall is astounding. The imaging moved back several feet and grew two feet higher, but shrunk width-wise without side panels.
