Treat it like timber furniture. If they are damaged or worn a good cabinet maker can fix them like new.
If its in the sun a lot you will get discolouration just as you would with any timber furniture. I have rosenut 804s from 2006. i use a little furniture polish once every 6 months. its enough to keep them looking new apart from the natural darkening of the FST which I don't think you can do anything about.Mac 8gb SSD Audirvana ->Weiss INT202 firewire interface ->Naim DAC & XPS2 DR->Conrad Johnson CT5 & LP70S-> Vivid B1s.

I always thought that that kind of product could damage the veneer and affect its color, good to know I will try it and let you know. BTW it seem that you have been away from the forum for some time, do you have any new comments of your 801D?Leo,

Been using pledge on my speakers forever. I use the "Extra Moisturizing" pledge.Comment

What about Mineral Oil.... Works great on things. I'd try it that in a small location, it should re-vitalize the wood.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

I just wanted to share my excitement as to my recent upgrade to 804s (rosenut) from my 683's.
I wasn't planning on doing this upgrade at this time, but with the change in the 800 series I didn't feel I would be willing to shell out for the price increase later. My dealer had one pair... -

My Nautilus 805's were the cherry wood color.
My set of 804S are rosenut.
One thing I noticed is that the wood does not have the same texture.
The cherry wood of the 805 was silky smooth to touch. I never added any liquids and oils. Always cleaned it with just a microfiber... -
