Has anyone removed tarnish from Gallo tweeter?

Sorry to tell you, but it will get worse, although I don't think they're fingerprints. All Gallo tweeters do this -- I've had the original sphericals, the Due's, and now the Ref 3s. At least they ultimately get a consistent, all-over tarnish (sounds better if you call it patina) instead of the earlier blotchy look. If you can find any way to reverse this, please let us know. Since I was expecting it, it didn't much bother me, but I agree that it doesn't look great. Dave

This is the only hint I've found. Has anybody tried?

"When I got them, the CDT tweeters were severely tarnished, they looked like they were salvaged from the ocean! But with a Q-tip and some TarnX tarnish remover they look as good as new!"

Might work. Somebody else go first. I'd sure hate to inadvertently remove something vital to the way these things sound.

Why not call Anthony and ask him?

Why not remove the tweeter altogether and run the mid/bass driver full range, as is all the rage these days? The full damping of the amp is not compromised by the crossover and you can try some cool single ended amps and a dac with no filter. Be sure to wear sandals, play some nice sitar music and smoke Indian cigarettes. Sonic nirvana.
