It all started with tearing down and rebuilding a set of beautiful old KEF 104.2's (with questioning side-glances at my Ditton 44's)...
Care to help me test-run a brand new website that is set to distribute ferrofluid at an affordable rate in Canada come Dec.?
I hope that this is not verboten on this forum; if it is, I'll understand and remove it with apologies...
I've created this site myself, with potentially questionable editing skills, so any positive feedback would be appreciated.

For us DIY Canucks, accessing ferrofluid to rebuild drivers is practically impossible / unavailable in-country (which is bizarre) unless we ship drivers to technicians to do the work for us. I communicated with speaker repair shops in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto ~ if I was not keen to send them my drivers for repair, they did not seem at all inclined to send me ferrofluid to do it myself...
Ferrofluid is absurdly expensive to bring in from elsewhere; case in point; today's currency conversion rate ($1.00 USD = $1.38 CAD) / ($1 EURO = $1.48 Canadian Dollar) and shipping costs for ferrofluid makes it somewhat akin to liquid gold! All of the several dozen sources that I looked at in Europe and America were more than willing to send ferro' to Canada, but only via courier or some expensive version of Royal Post :-(
This situation finds those here in the Great White North facing invoices of roughly $60 CAD to receive very small packets of ferrofluid!
In partnership with the world's largest ferrofluid manufacturer, Ferrotec ~ who have been great to deal with, my plan is to change this foolishness... come Dec., DIY Canucks can rejoice at access to affordable ferrofluid products, shipped nationally.
Thank you in advance for your input.

BTW: Oddly, Bit Defender gives SSL warnings with I load the website with Microsoft Edge, while both Google Chrome and Firefox load it flawlessly... Something to look into going forward, prior to the Dec. roll-out.
