Current feeling on stacked quads?
Detlof, in my experience stacked ESL 57's have better dynamics than Maggie MG II or III's. It's not that the Quads could play as loud as the Maggies: they don't. But the Quads have a bigger dynamic range and are better in reproducing tiny dynamic ... 
solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT??
How about the lead free solder? Because of the RoHS legislation manufacturers in Europe are forced to abandon the "old" solder. I hear different opinions regardiong lead free solder: some say that it is in fact better than conventional solder, som... 
Current feeling on stacked quads?
How do stacked Quad ESL 56's compare to full range Soundlabs? I thought this might be a difficult question?Chris 
Jeff Rowland Design Group -- Factory Tour
Interesting pictures Dave. Jeff also advocates the use of transformers because of the balanced operation and common mode noise rejection.Chris 
Whatever happened to Straight Wire?
A new series of cables or so called "revised" version will not guarantee better sound. Sometimes older versions of a certain cable are more musical. Of course some of you will not agree with this statement.Chris

Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?

Thomasheisig, that sounds a bit sad.Chris 
Will adding a preamp dramatically change my sound?
Can any of you explain why an active preamp is to be preferred instead of passive preamp or no preamp at all? In my system an active preamp is better because I hear more bass slam, there is an "organic" quality to the music and midrange has more "... 
Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?
As Simon stated, non audiophile engineers (which is most of them) are only interested in measurements and schematics and there is only one answer to one question they want to know: does it work? That's why those people have portable radios, ghetto... 
an amp without "electronic" sound
Dave, even in the highest echelon you can hear clear differences between amps. With some of the amplifiers that have ultra high resolution you do not only hear the beginning and decay of tones but it's as if there is "air" or texture surrounding t...

Ralph, I've just read your post and it is fantastic. I love the way you explain things and make the complex stuff simpler so even a electronic nitwit could understand. Thank you.Chris
