Maybe I jumped the gun on this idea as the zobel is designed, if I am correct, to tame the peak at the xover freq of the woofer and the parafeed cap effects primarily the bass extension and damping. It still might be fun to play around with the value of the parafeed caps anyway. See the bottlehead forum comments by Paul joppa and VoltSecond.

In went the magnet wire, out came the Zobel, to the dumpster with the magnet wire, cookin' with good ole 16 ga stranded copper and finally, on alligator clips, the Zobel again.
The Zobel, as I'm sure Wayne will attest thru guffaws, has a minimal influence on the overall sound as the 3 Db is at the limit of perception and repetitiuos err titious err many A/B's yields just a sense that upper mids, i.e., female vocal and glockenspiel (just kidding) is a tad smoother. Still, plucked bass and kick drum is also just a bit less forward.
That's in my room with my equipment and my aging cochlea. Results may vary. Please see a doctor before beginning any......

Rather than looking for black washers, you might paint them black. Perhaps you will leave them unpainted until you are sure you won't remove the screws for a while, and then paint them black.

Some screws I've used are black, but most are not. So one of the things I do is to paint the hardware with Testors gloss black paint. I do that with the ports too. It's time consuming, but I think it looks good.

Glad to hear it. It's best to use at least 16 guage stranded wire in these speakers.

Hi Bill,

this is a link for MSC. they carry an array of industrial type fasteners. along with everything else!
maybe the local yellow pages would have a listing under industrial supliers.
