Also, the magnets are so powerful that they can easily pull a hex wrench from your fingers when you loosen your grip even just a bit. The wrench will fly directly on to the edges of your whizzer cones with quite a bit of force. The simple answer is a non-magnetic hex wrench (believe its 4mm). I found one for 12 bucks on line and thought it was a small price to pay for the peace of mind.

This is wise and  worthy advice for sure.  That is some magnet!!!

4mm and wise to do it horizontally. Some padding under so not resting on connectors. Stainless steel non magnetic hex is a good idea, thanks jollytinker.

Also wise to have someone else do the swap if one has an ICD or Pacemaker. : )

+1 to @jollytinker 's advice.

@jollytinker Ha. You just gave me flashbacks to having my soldering iron pulled out of my hand by the magnets on my accuton drivers.  Fortunately just to the magnet and not towards the driver.  Super fun times!

vinpic29 posts 12-26-2021 12:55pm No change, still amazing ☺️ V2 it’s a welcome evolution (no revolution). As I write this I am listening to Grant Green’s Idle Moments masterpiece. With the V1 the Gibson and the saxophone edged on the shiny/dominant side creating a sense of imbalance vis a vis the other instruments. The V2 adds meat to the bones of the bass / drums / cymbals whilst making the Gibson/sax sound more truthful (at least to my ears). The overall balance and listening pleasure goes up one to two notches depending on the piece of music. The most impressive difference I’ve listened to date has been on Willem De Vriend’s Beethoven 7th (DSD file played off the MU1 ssd). The V1 was a bit too bright and did not reproduce accurately the dark/grave strings base (I did know it was there by listening thru my Susvara’s). Spent months trying to tweak my system to no avail. V2 got everything in the right place without losing an inch of the Nenuphars’ mid-range magic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

WEll now jusr wait 1 minute there

 

Are you going to tell us,,,

folks who ~~just purchased~~ past year lets say,,, the V1,,,with consideration of your ***accurate and unbiase test listenings*** That these V1 owners are now left with a speaker that is **a bit, if not to say a significant nuances*** less than what the V2 delivers????

If your listening tests are indeed accurate and spot on,, then seems to me to be ~~~FAIR in ALL THIS~~~, that Cube would offer free ship both ways, and free new cones at a nice easy going price cost to their loyal and haappy,,well once were happy,, now left in a lurch... Cube owes its owners some recompense for what they thought was the best Cube had to offer,, the V1. Now we hear the V2 is really *The Real Deal**. Something just aint right here. Something is smelling fishy if you ask me. Cube ought to take the hit,,and secondly,, why is Cube CONTINUINGG to list the V1 w pics.

Almost no info on the new V2 on the web site???? WE all need answers, Cube has alottttt of explaining to do on this ,,,to put it nicely,,,Conundrum,,otherwise know by another more common street slang term. You guys can do what you want,,, go at your own risk.,

,and expense.
