Quoted from BeaglePuss:

Any recommendations as to whether I should go LCD or LED for a color DMD? I've skimmed through the LCD vs LED thread, but didn't see Met used as an example. I was hoping to get some insight from within the club as to which is preferred.

I ordered a LCD as I suspect the LED will be way too bright for me. For an example, I set the GI illumination on my premium to 10 from the default of 50.

I will report back once I get it and get it installed.

Quoted from FlipperMagician:

Thanks, you prompted me to do a quick google search which coincidentally brought me to a Pinside thread, specifically this post by you. So I went into feature adjustments and went backwards and there it was. Reading through that thread I'm guessing not a lot of people even know this in an option, I didn't. It was preset at 50, I turned it down to 20 and it's MUCH better. Thanks again!

I had mine set at 10 for a while. Then I put a ST-Prem and a SMVE next to it and had to turn it back up again!

I wish Stern would put that adjustment in ALL of their games.

Installed the Flipper Fidelity Meaty Beaty Big and Bassy speaker system kit in my Met Monsters today. WAY better than stock. Way better than stock with a Polk sub underneath. Since the cabinet speaker is basically a big 3-way, it balances the sound out nicely. If you are looking for some better sound out of your Met, give this a shot.

Oh.. and one other thing.. I have always wondered why the sound in my Met sounded "off." I can tell that Stern didn't do that great of a job mixing the soundtrack - especially the bass on the spinners as it's too much, but what I am talking about is something different. It's hard to describe, but something just wasn't right. During the installation of the flipper fidelity system I discovered why. The 2 backbox speakers were wired out of phase from the factory. So check your speakers and cabinet speakers to see if yours are too. The wire with the white stripe should be negative and the wire with the black stripe should be positive. The terminals on the speakers have a "+" and/or a "-" to designate the polarity.

However, that being said, it doesn't matter how you wire the speakers as long as they are *all the same.* In other words, you can wire the black stripe wire to negative, as long as ALL of the speakers have the black stripe wire as negative it will be fine. Or vice versa.
