jazzman, The reason I asked is because the cable that comes wit the 26 and power supply is rather short.George

cascadesphil,Yes, I'm familiar with the diagram on how to wire a cable for use between the power supply and the BP-26, as I own both. (and I have te manual.)IMO, Belden cables are top quality, and, I've used their cable stock for many  years to ro...

jazzman,The power supply for the BP-26 is some distance away from the preamp. Where did you get the connecting cable?George

Tom,You've talked me into a pair of 800s cans.  Thanks!!So now I have the  008s and the  800s .Really causes a dilemma, as both are excellent. I'll still use the electrostatics to check new CD s, but most likely will use the 800s for pleasurable l...

I spent several weeks going to my dealer's showroom to audition the 3.7s and 2.7s. I took a widespread selection of my classical CDs with which I was very familiar. In the end, I selected the 2.7s, along with a SS2.2 sub to extend the lower bass. ...

Tom,WoW!  800S cans. They certainly must sound better than my HD 600s. The circular transducer must make a difference. I agree. Everything that sounds coherent via the electrostatics also sounds coherent with my 2.7s.  I think the major difference...

prof,I agree with your description of the 2.7s, although I'm using a Bryston 4B cubed with a bp17 cubed preamp. To me there is a clear difference in the 2.7s being driven by the 4BSST2 and the 4B cubed.George

Tom, Electrostatic headphones use a very, very thin and low mass membrane, positioned between two stators that are driven by a high voltage signal. (The stators operate push-pull to ensure the membrane reacts in a near simultaneous move to the com...

andy2Get a decent set of electrostatic headphones (Stax) and you'll be even more confused. ;-)

Tom, Thank you.

Tom, Sorry for an antediluvian question:  When you speak of tonality, are you referring to a pure sinusoid wave form or one containing the harmonics?In my earlier years, I was taught the beauty of a violin tone came from the addition of the harmon...

RobAs you're retired, you might have some fun reviewing the Thiele/Small Parameters. I built my own speakers back in the monaural and early stereo days - - well before the Thiele/Small parameters were published.   Wish they'd been available then. ...

agree with jon.Test tomes resulted in weird noises, both earlier 3.5s and now the 2.7s.

While waiting for my braised brisket to cook, I went to the "Speakers" topic and went to the beginning, hoping to find threads about AR3a speakers.    Found this:    Not much has changed.Thiel 30 April 2000 thread:"Looking for advice in driving Th...
