Interesting reading for ESL owners

The site looked interesting and the speakers are beautiful. I read eagerly, hoping for some revelation in audio cables for my ESL's. The disappointment came when I read the part where they said that all good interconnect cables sound the same. That was my first clue that they did not know what they were talking about.

To make matters worse, they suggested that to prove their cable theory, just purchase a Radio Shack "Y" adaptor and use it to connect two different brands of interconnects to your preamp and then switch between them in an AB test, preferably with a remote control. Sorry, but they completely lost me on that one.

Sfrounds, this is not meant to come down on you, I disagree with the engineers at the site, not your enthusiasm about the well designed site and the information posted there.

Sfrounds. Agree with you on most points, except that in my system there is absolutely no problem in hearing the difference between high end interconnects. I can put Audioquest, Cardas and Purist in my system between the turntable and phono stage, or between the phono stage and preamp and hear distinct differences.

That being said, an engineer that claims there is no difference in interconnects, leads me to believe he has not pushed the performance of the system he designs with. I would hope that every high end manufacturer would have a system at least as good as the posters at Audiogon.

As far as your comments about the information being useful as applied to electrostatics, I agree. There are different requirements for electrostatic speakers, and the choices in interconnect, speaker wire, and the power cable to the speakers all matter a great deal.

Thanks for sharing the site address, I will look for these people at the next CES, it will be interesting to see how their speakers perform.
