    Nice fix !👍
    That glue issue plagues all electronic products.
    It's the first thing to check and remove.
    I own a GX-95 and sooner or later it will need servicing.😂
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    Nice find! about the glue! I think I'm gonna remove it on my deck as well, just tp avoid issues in the future. I have a GX-75 MK II which is basically the same deck, just without the side panels. I will also try adding those caps as well. By the way, can you tell me where did you get the frequency response tape from? Thanks!

      My friend reduced THD from 8% to 0.7% just by removing the glue!

      @@hifirulezzz I'll clean that up this weekend and I'll let you know. I'll try to do some measurements before and after, because I don't trust my ears enough, lol

    Hello, I would like to ask if the added capacitors compensate for the high frequency loss due to head wear?
