| Your experiences with system synergy Out of curiosity, are we talking SETs or push pull amps? | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated Lots of things break while cryo treating. I've never been a fan of cryo. If you want nothing to change, cool it to cryo temps. Physics has never provided a basis for it working on anything. I've also been in several other hobbies where it is t... | |
| Is it possible a 20 amp outlet can make a big difference in SQ? You describe the improvements you get from rectifying an inadequate power problem. You didn't change the power cord at the same time did you? The most common cause of this problem is an inadequately sized (say 14-16 awg) power cord. My guess is... | |

| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers I have a pair of CLS speakers. I am a power cord believer for amplifiers. however, I haven't used heavy power cords on the electrostatic speaker. The power supply to the electrostat puts....you guessed it...a static charge on the panel. It d... | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread @simguy Do you polish your wires? Anybody got a physics based reason why smoother slugs would be better? like I said, I putt a matte finish on mine. Jerry |
